Cyfarchion o Gaerdydd (welsh for 'greetings from Cardiff ')
As you all are aware awakening proceeded to Cardiff from Birmingham on Monday 14th of March. For the 10 days of adoration in Cardiff we had decided to have it in 6 Parishes and Cardiff University Chaplaincy. In the beginning, personally I used to think that maybe we were a bit too ambitious trying to have it in 7 different places which meant stretching all our resources to the fullest. But this thought struck me that this year's awakening was initiated in different places around UK to encourage wider participation... then why not encourage wider participation within Cardiff, so we decided to go for it and started praying for this !!
St. Brigid's Parish
Eucharistic Adoration started off after mass at 9:30 and during mass the parish priest expressed his gratitude towards Jesus Youth for having adoration at their parish. And he also went on to speak about the importance of adoration and spending time with the Lord. Inspired by this throughout the day we had at least 3-4 parishioners in front of the Blessed Sacrament which was really inspiring to see.
After the adoration finished today morning, many people shared that they were really glad to be a part of this initiative and that they had a lovely time. Burt, a parishioner from St. Brigid’s was really glad to know that adoration was being held in other parishes in Cardiff and said that he would get as many people as he can for the next few days . Adding on he said that he will support us with full spirit :))
Praise the LORD isn't our LORD truly AWESOME!! I believe the graces have already started flowing and this is just the BEGINNING :)
A lovely prayerful time during the last 24 hours, Thank you 'Jesus Youth’ - Teresa Bloch (Parishioner)
REVELATION 14:13
"Happy are those who from now on die in the service of the LORD"
Personally for me the 1st day was BRILLIANT!! I have had so many ups and downs over the last week and was getting all stressed out thinking about workload from University, especially my final project submission.... early next month. And to be very honest the spirit of awakening wasn't really there till the adoration actually begun, All the LORD took was 5 minutes and he had me broken down into tears... It’s amazing to feel him in great silence...to acknowledge his presence..
Daniel 10:19
