Sunday of Joy...Sunday of Rejoice!

I was really glad that i never failed to woke up early this morning. Its really so overwhelming to be there...attending the first day of the traditional Novena Mass. I woke up an hour earlier than the scheduled time. My friend and I were together joining the mass at ATENEO de DAVAO UNIVERSITY. It started at 5am. Not like others which usually starts at 4am. I feel great and not sleepy. I can still remember when i was young, i go with my family really sleepy. I just slept while the mass is going on. Lol. Well, i just had the faith and patience topic from the Jesuit Fathers of Ateneo. I estimated the time of his homily and I think, it was more than 30min of speech. Really worth it for everything that he said. The best part I cant forget is the Psalm which was actually sang by a guy. He's a part of the chorale i think. The psalm goes this way:

"Naway Kahabagan
Tayo ng Diyos
at pagpalain
kailan man."

The song made my body's hairs stand. I was not frightened but overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with the voice and the feeling of lightness. I even had a teary eye. I felt that God never gave up on me. So many chances he had given and still, he is willing to forgive. Another thing i realized was the greatness of the morning. Ive been nocturnal these past few months. After the mass, I never slept again. Instead, I took a bath and went out of the house to blog. But i cant write. As usual, I cant think when its still early. Hahahah! Im trying to forget something. Realizing that I can do a lot of things when i start things early, inspires me to start and get things done as early as possible. Thanks for an early and good start with the LORD!
