Last July 16-17, we had our first-ever Taize that was from 6:00pm of July 16 to 6:00am of July 17. we really didn't slept the whole night. When the Taize prayer was introduced to us days before, many questions and thoghts popped-up into my mind like, "Panu ni man? di ko guro ni kaya ah..", "Yehey! basta upod ko lng friends ko di ko na matuyo ah!".
When I knew that the BEC/SME club members will considered as the working committee to make this event a success, I never understand it at first, so I said,"Ahaaiiii, panu ko ni yah karon ka enjoy kag ka upod sa mga friends ko sharing man?????" I thought of that also because I never what was the job of being an SME member, I thought it was going to be really that stressful, but I realized that it wasn't.
During the Taize Prayer, all of the High School learners who came from different schools, including us from Assumption-Iloilo was divided among 10 groups according to the signs placed in our name tags that was distributed by the Campus Ministry. We had many songs of praise sung and many activities; like sharing and watching video clips on the large screen. Until morning came and the sun slowly went up and shined bright up ther in the sky, we had our mass to end the most unforgettable and the first ever taize that happened in Assumption-Iloilo especially for its centennial year.. After the mass we had our semi-breakfast, in which we ate pandesal, arroz caldo and we drunk Milo to awaken our sleeping nerves...
I expect more of these every year, I hope...It's really a great sacrifice to praise God for the gift of Assumption education and for our Mother Foundress, St. Marie Eugenie of Jesus..
-ALL COMES FROM JESUS CHRIST & ALL MUST BE FOR JESUS CHRIST!:))
