Sacrament of Confirmation celebrated at St. Anthony's Church, Ras Al Khaimah

 It's time for the celebration of Sacraments here. Since Dubai has not allowed the Church to conduct any services, the parishioners come to Rasalkhaimah for celebrating. We had four Saturdays first holy communion for the Children from Dubai parish. There are weddings and Baptism are being celebrated here. The Masses are also well attended by faithful from nearby where the church still not permitted to conduct services. Our Parish was supposed to have the sacrament of Confirmation in the month of April but due to the Pandemic, it was postponed to December. The Bishop could not be present so he delegated to the Parish Priest Fr. Thomas Sebastian. It was a well organized and conducted the ceremony. Here the Catechism teachers are very committed and give their best for the faith formation of the children. It is amazing to see old and young share their faith with boys and girls. 

There are two things in life which we can love with our whole heart and mind, the first one is "sorrow" and the second one "Hardwork". Without sorrow and pain our hearts and souls are not purified and made holy and without hard work there can be no full growth and development of the person. 

In Life's journey, we should always take Self-confidence along with us. In Life it is good to think from both sides, then we never see the other one wrong and the other one's mistakes are not seen. When we see and think from both sides then we can avoid misunderstanding and suspicion and doubts. 

There are people who remember us when they have needs but do not feel bad absolutely and be proud because we remember candle only we have darkness in the house. 

It is always good to express our feelings and emotions rather than storing them in the heart, you enjoy while doing it and derive happiness which is lasting longer. There are tears in my eyes always in all the moments but to wipe them with smiles is much better than complaining about it to others.
