3rd April 2010- It is finished. His passion is over.
It was a special day for us, Christians. And still is. The day when we longer weep but to embrace that thrill of joy for " The Lord is risen"
Mass started at 9pm by Fr Lawrence. It started off with a darkness. A complete darkness where Fr Lawrence came into the Church with a candle in hand. Then the fire from father's candle started to spread to all Christian fellows and light up the church. Father gave a sermon on the real meaning of celebrating Easter.Then it was this musical sketch next, a brief and meaningful one from the youth. The youth of the Church presented their musical sketch which tell us about temptation. It started off with a teenager caught up between good and evil. The temptations where those devils pull the girl away from the path of good. Then those Angels trying hard to show the girl the right path. The musical sketch show us something that most of us teenagers nowadays. Going to club for alcohol, take drugs, doing illegal work for the sake of money, and all these temptation which pull us apart from God as God love us so much where we lose our faith to Him. The musical sketch ended and left us in awe and somehow manage to open our eye where some of the viewer were caught in tear. Father was in tears and He share with us about the presentation.
It was Baptism next and the mass ended around 11.30pm. We were so grateful that the Church prepared us supper. They have variety of cakes and even had Easter Eggs. It came in with a cute box. ^^ Everyone went home with a smile on their face together with reflection from the musical sketch. Hoping that would inspire us in our coming life where God will always be there to help us in showing us the way to the path of righteous.

Reaching out for God. Will she be able to pass those temptations?
Fr. Lawrence sharing. (He was pretty much overwhelmed by the performance. Tears of Joy)
Its Baptism time. ^^Reflection on Easter Sunday:
Readings: Acts 10 : 34a, 37 - 43
(10 : 34) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth i perceive that God is no respecter of persons.
(37 - 34)
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judges of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Colossians 3 : 1 -4
(3 : 1 - 4)
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Gospel: John 20 : 1 - 9
(20 : 1 - 9)
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth, the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
