Mass


One of the most moving experiences we had in Amman was going to the English language Mass. The church was located (I think) in Jebel Webdeh and it was gorgeous. What was so moving was hearing the mostly Phillipino members singing in accented English hymns that we sang as child in my church. My mom and I were literally moved to tears. Midway through the Mass, we could hear the call to prayer, which brought for me, a surreal quality to it all. I thought about the fact that here I was, from one side of the world, here the Pillipinos were from the other side of the world, and we were meeting in the middle to worship Christ! It felt like a glimpse of heaven.
