The Memorable Cloth (A Personal Narrative)

The Memorable Cloth

Remember something that you expect since you want to be like that? Or wishing that you can do anything that you came be like something or someone? My most memorable thing that i'm still wondering why and how i claim, a cloth, not just an ordinary cloth, a cloth that makes me falling from clouds and landed on the softest, entering the thing that sometimes making conflict to others bu it makes you happy. And know Him.

I hear the sermon of a priest at the church, entering churches doesn't feeling good, except for the ghosts i some horror stories, is quite boring because it so long to occupy the time. The most hated part of mine, was the sermon. Yes! the sermon of the priest, when i was young i slept during the mass until we got home. That is the only way do pass. But, a sermon of the priest makes me something, realize of what i will be during puberty. A part of the priest's homily said "Before, i want to enter as a sakristan, because i want to wear something white. But now? I'm wearing full white!". That phrase was stuck in may mind until the near chapel searching for church workers as a Lector, Commentator and an Altar Server. I asked my mom, but she against at first, but in second, she said yes. I was 12, when i start to wearing a white t-shirt and an elemtary skirt. At first it was so hard, you don't know how to put in the table, how you walk slowly, and how to talk with to the other in silent. It so hard that time.

An Altar server, is the assistant of the priest during celebrating the mass. The mass is the highest form of prayer. Every rules, you must follow, all the ethics, before, during and after the mass must follow, the doctrines and some lessons from the Bible, you must appreciated. Because we believe that a server of the altar, must know the doctrines and the areas of the Church where you follow. As an altar server, you must be the model for youth. That is quite challenging, you didn't know HOW to. We are serving not just the priest, to the devotees, not in the church also but to God. So they accused someone who serving that she or he wasn't for the church for his/her attitude. We believe that the churchworkers are not perfect. I, as a normal and sinner one, we accept their accusations.

That phrase, was still in my mind, rigth now, while writing this. I wait for 6 years while serving the altar and the Lord with gladness, our installment as truly an altar server, seed of being a lazy one. Im a girl that hates music during the mass, but i have some on my playlist on my phone, im the girl who sleeps during mass, was actively participates the mass, im the one who hates long sermo but now, smiling while listening to and Im that girl who hates, now finally a server. Forever.
