The Weekend!

I went to the MGOCSM Queens/Long Island/Brooklyn area lenten retreat, yesterday, and I learned a bunch of whole new material. Like, four people were changed by Christ on His way to Golgotha, Judas, Peter, Simon the Cyrene, and the good thief on the right side of Jesus. We did praise & worship, meditation, prayers, and a beautiful message taught by Rev. Fr. Raymond Browne (Attends St. Tikhon's Seminary and converted from Roman Catholicism to Orthodoxy). After that, I went straight to my cousin's house and stayed there for like two hours. On Sunday, I went to church, participated in the Holy Qurbana, and listened to another beautiful sermon by Dennis Mathai, about the story of the crippled woman.
