We had our consecration and renewal of vow this morning. But everything did not turn out well. Despite the preparations and practices, it was a mess! As in! During the practice, we decided that I will no longer mention the names of each and every member. So I did not prepare a list of all the members. But this morning, when I was about to introduce the members, Fr. Olet asked me to mention all their names. I was caught unprepared!!! Due to nervousness, I wasn’t able to remember the names of all my members. I was only able to mention their nicknames! It was an embarrassing moment for me. At that moment, all I wanted was to disappear. I felt ashamed for what happened.
My member’s performance added to my anxiety and discomfort this morning. I’m very disappointed to what they have done. I reminded them several times of the things that they need to do and bring but they still failed to follow me. Some came late. Some did not bring the copies of their vow or credo. Some were not paying attention to the mass. Some are so “pasaway”.
I don’t anymore want to remember what happened this morning. As what Geng said, everything was over and we just have to move on. Yes, she’s right! But I hope and pray that it will serve as a lesson to all of us. I hope that we will learn from what happened so that we can be better individuals.
