i understand perfectly now why Yvonne is so bemused and in-love with father pedro. he's got a very charming singing voice. at least, that's the one good thing that i found out about the priest.
this is the second wednesday that father toto celebrated the novena mass. and today, he didn't administer the communion. instead, he let the nuns give the body of Christ while he sang "i'm falling deeply in love with you Lord" at the center of the altar.
holy! holy! i don't really "pray" per se during the whole communion time, but that time my knees were nailed to the pew. i bowed my head, closed my eyes and i was lost to the sinewy charm of the priest's voice. i didn't look up until he said "please stand".
*sorry Lord, father toto's voice distracted me to say my prayers*
after the mass, janice and i talked about how wonderful that communion song and how beautiful father toto's voice were. on Janice's part, she really fought hard. she said her prayers louder in her head so that she can actually say her prayers and not just listen to the song. but she ended up saying "hail mary...." when she wasn't even finished with "our father...". in the end, she gave up, took a seat and succumbed to father toto's voice anyway.
whew! i wish i can go to the parish's concert on the 20th of september.
