Today we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. It is
an important feast day in the Congregation of the Holy Cross, as Our Lady of
Sorrows is their patroness. My favorite part of the day was the Apostle’s Creed
in the middle of Mass. The keyboard started playing “Jingle Bells” as an
introduction, and I almost laughed out loud. When the congregation sang the
entire Apostle’s Creed to that tune, I definitely laughed out loud. It was the
coolest thing ever.
We had a big celebration afterwards, a joint feast-day
celebration/ going away party for Sister Helene, who has worked in Africa for
15 years. I thought 1 year was long! We feasted on jeloff rice, goat soup,
grilled sweet plantains, popcorn, and cake! It was great to hang out with the
Brothers again; they are a lot of fun.
