Prayer Before Studying ~ from Lifeteen.com

Holy Spirit, come. Lead me into your presence and into a greater understanding of this material I'm about to study. Please help me to comprehend concepts the first time through, and remember details with minimal effort. Help to see what I am supposed to see and not get bogged down by distracting thoughts. Help me to stay focused so I can get through quickly, but thoroughly.

Jesuit Prayer

My Lord, teach me to be generous!
Teach me to serve You as You deserve:
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I am doing Your Will. Amen.

*sigh*

I wonder when I'll be able to visit the Philippines again.

CCC Open House! =)

Today was our open house. Yay, I didn't get bad allergies today even though I forgot to take my allergy medicine. *blushes* It was such a great experience volunteering for the event, and meeting all the prospective students. It was strange, realizing that I would be a Second Year student before long, that Stash & some of the current Second Years wouldn't be coming back to school next year, and that a whole new bunch of students would be going to school at CCC next year. We're supposedly going to expand to 200 students next year. We only have 80 students right now. I wonder how it'll be next year with so many students around the school. I only hope that the spirit of community in our school will never be lost. I hope that the students coming next year will be really nice. And I hope that I do not lose touch with all those CCC students who will not be returning next semester.

Argh

Bipolar, I seem.

Ou peut-être c'est SPM.

Heh.

Another Friday...

No classes today, just Newman Club. :) I was late for our weekly Newman Club meeting, though that seemed to be another thread of God's lovely Plan. I got to bus to school with someone who graduated the year before me from my high school. =) The topic of the Newman Club meeting was Love and Relationships. =) I then heated up my food, played Settlers of Catan, then took a nap and went out for dinner. After dinner, I went to the library. Highlight of the day (aside from dinner): helping 2 people find their way around campus. 0 = )

Yay!

Thank You God for letting me have just enough money for dinner today. LOL, I had to pay $5.90 & all I had left in my wallet was $5 and 95 cents in coins! LOL!

Fr. Hughes' Homily =)

What really struck me about Fr. Hughes' homily at Guardian Angels today:

* The story about the devout Catholic wife out in the Canadian prairies whose husband was not religious. She had to raise their children as Catholics herself, without her husband's help, and her husband didn't want to go to Mass with her and the kids. The husband's efforts to save some stubborn geese from a blizzard taught him that his wife and kids were showing him the way to Heaven the whole time. Jesus came to live with us and to show us the way.
* Being happy is to have had good days and bad days, but no regrets.
* Happy is different from joyful (feeling like everything's wonderful, nice and rosy). XD

Taste in Music

You can really learn a lot about a person by looking at their taste in music. 0 = )

Welcome to my Blog

This is just the humble wee blog of a studious young altarserver who loves serving God.

Just a wee word of warning, I rarely update/check comments on this page.

287	A clerk from Oxford was with us also,
288	Who'd turned to getting knowledge, long ago.
289	As meagre was his horse as is a rake,
290	Nor he himself too fat, I'll undertake,
291	But he looked hollow and went soberly.
292	Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he
293	Had got him yet no churchly benefice,
294	Nor was so worldly as to gain office.
295	For he would rather have at his bed's head
296	Some twenty books, all bound in black and red,
297	Of Aristotle and his philosophy
298	Than rich robes, fiddle, or gay psaltery.
299	Yet, and for all he was philosopher,
300	He had but little gold within his coffer;
301	But all that he might borrow from a friend
302	On books and learning he would swiftly spend,
303	And then he'd pray right busily for the souls
304	Of those who gave him wherewithal for schools.
305	Of study took he utmost care and heed.
306	Not one word spoke he more than was his need;
307	And that was said in fullest reverence
308	And short and quick and full of high good sense.
309	Pregnant of moral virtue was his speech;
310	And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.

- Excerpt from the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer about the Oxford Cleric, a character who's very similar to me. :)
