Have you attended the,"Simbang Gabi"?

Philippines
December 24, 2010 1:45am CST
Just this early morning of 4:00,from December 16 up to December 24.I wake up at that time just to attend a solemn mass for Jesus.I still noticed that there are some talkative people around,some are hugging,some are sleeping,some are making a text note in their cell phones.They do not honor the holiness of the mass that they just take it for granted as if they have no asking to God for their own benifit.They are present in the church yet their souls are from nowhere.I have scolded others last time I have noticed their wrong actions in the mass,yet I just leave them because they already know what is good and bad.

I am not Catholic so I just stayed at work (I work in the night shift) then I slept in the morning the moment I got home. That is what my life is like Though I am some kind of a fornicator I know there will come a time I will be much more religious again. I do love my religion and I have no plan of converting but at this moment I was in a dark hour of my life.

Thank you very much for the response.I felt that you are a religious person yet your time prohibits you from attending your rituals.God cares for you because He still guides you in your work.I know that you are still praying within your heart in praise for Him that you just say your prayers at work and at home,yet that is still praying.I wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year........

Anyway, though i'm not Catholic, this tradition should continue because it makes Filipinos special,Its a tradition that should not die.
