For the first Thứ Bẩy Đầu Tháng (TBDT) of the 2015 year, we gathered in San Gabriel on February 7. This TBDT was the start of something new called a
"Passport to God". With this passport, for every time that you attend TBDT you will receive a sticker or stamp on your card. For every three, you will receive a ticket that will be drawn in a raffle at the end of the year on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. This year's grand prize is an iPad!
Although the passport is a fun incentive to go to TBDT, it also reminds us of a much more important reason to go: to make devotion to Mary. At TBDT, we can receive the Eucharist, go to confession, pray the rosary, and spend time with Mary. The mysteries of the Rosary remind us of the life, death, and glory of Jesus and Mary. It is important to meditate on these events and as we strive to love God like Mary has shown us, we get closer to God.
This TBDT we were joined by Cha Hiếu, who held mass. After mass and the Rosary prayer, we played games such as Musical Chairs 2.0, French Charades, and Singo. Our spirit was bright as we acted (some terribly) and sang some of our favorite tunes. We had lunch together and Đoàn Torrance was soon on the road back to our church to start sinh hoạt.
We had a full day of laughter and fun with our TNF family and we look forward to the coming events. We hope to see you in Torrance for March's TBDT on the 7th!
