The Sunday Mass at St. John's Cathedral, Kuala Lumpur

Fifteen minutes before eight in the morning and the bells of St. John was tolling hard and strong. As I thread the upside portion of Jalan Tun Lee, my heart was also pounding with such gladness to be part of that Nov. 30 Sunday mass. It was a very beautiful feeling.

I was also delighted to see many Filipinos outside the church that morning~~some ladies selling Filipino food, some were waiting for the 10am Filipino mass. The church was full~~a sight of multi-racial community in one church. There were Indians, Malays, Chinese-looking Malays, Filipinos, Caucasians maybe Americans etc. The parish priest, Fr. James gave a very nice homily that morning of the first sunday of Advent. The church choir had numerous upbeat, fun music that can be well-commended. The mass prayers were also very solemn (i remember they recited the Nicene creed instead of the usual Apostles' creed).


I will never forget that Holy Mass. Such experience was already a great blessing, a gift to me. Believe it or not, it's an experience I enjoyed in Malaysia.

*******St. John happens to be also run by the Lasallian Brothers.
