SING TO MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS
AND
OUR MOTHER TOO
( MARIAN CULMINATING ACTIVITY)
Tilomar, East Timor
October 31, 2015; the day started with a morning mass at 9:00 a.m. After the mass we proceeded with a dry run for the living rosary event and we ended exactly 12:00 noon. We came home for lunch, rest awhile and went back to the chapel before 2:00 p.m. We had our registration for 20 families who came early for the holy rosary reward to be given later.
We initiated the activity in collaboration with the chapel council. This was designed with the objectives: an act of thanksgiving for all the favors received through her intercession, honor Mary in songs as family and community, community bonding.
The activity was opened with a film viewing on the life of East Timor, after which a short Marian song presented by our school teachers with the sisters. The living rosary was the next in line. There were representatives from different sectors to form the human rosary. Among them were those from arm forces, clinic staff, teachers and students, youth and acolytes, catechists and first communicants; chapel councils, grandparents and 5 families to represent the mysteries.
After the prayer of the holy rosary, the community folk dance followed known as tebetebe. There was sharing of food while tebetebe was going on.
We thank God for that wonderful experience with the people. Our small way of making Mary known and loved by people.
