Season greetings dearly steemit lovers in Steem-ghana community. Trust you all had the best out of the day.

It's evening again, somebody guess what ..!!, Time for diary game right👍✔️, and I refused to be left out in today's diary game too, never. Here is how I spent my day:

--	--

Morning 7:13am-12:00pm

I woke today without the help of an alarm at 13 minutes after the hour of 7, that's a bit tho. As usual, I said shirt morning prayer, thanked almighty Jay for counting me a sinner among the livings of today.
Because today is Sunday and I had to be at the church before 8 o'clock, I started boiling water to bath immediately after my morning prayer .

Though I was really late and had to rush up, yet I was able to finish before 7:50am.
By 7:43am, I got out of the house and was heading to the church.
My today's church outfit is Plain black singlet top, plain black trousers and a black and white stripped Pam slippers and black cover Bible in my hand.

I boarded a tricycle (Keke Napep) to the church today instead of the usual motorcycle (Bike). We got to the church at exactly 8:00am, a time scheduled for church service to begin.
Me and my brother went inside the church but they were still reciting the rosary, the service was yet to commence.

In today's service, I worshipped with the Christian community of Saint Elizabeth Catholic Quasi Parish, Akiama, Bonny Island, Rivers State Nigeria 🇳🇬 What3words here .

At 8:06am, the mass began. A sound of a bell was heard which commemorates the commencement of the mass and all rised before the celebrant (the priest conducting the mass).

• Please Note:
  For non-catholics who might be confused of my terms as being used in the church; Mass is simply a service. Church service actually as known by all. Thanks.

Today being December 12th, 2021 which is the 3rd Sunday of Advent, the church celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe Feast.

• Note Also:
  Advent as a word was derived from a Latin word, Adventus which means waiting. It's a period the Catholic church observe for the coming of Jesus Christ. It usually last for about 30 days, beginning on the first Sunday of the month of December.

During the celebration of the mass, all activities were carried out accordingly which includes; readings from the Bible, offering of gifts and tithes from people to God and many more.
Today, the Catholic church all over the world read from the Bible books as follows:

Readings	Bible
FIRST READING	Zephaniah 3:14—18a
RESPONSORIAL PSALM	Isaiah 12:2—3, 4, 5—6 (6)
SECOND READING	Philippians 4:4—7
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (ALLELUIA)	ISAIAH 61:1 (cited in luke 4:18)
GOSPEL	Luke 3:10—18

according to the Catholic doctrine.

After the Bible readings, homily

(sermon/preaching) was done by the priest, ***Rev. Fr. Dr. Gospower Onyewuchi, Amele***. Details of the sermon can be found in my next post, please keep refreshing.

Other highlights of today's mass includes: Child dedication, Thanksgiving from people, receiving of communion by communicants among others.

Thanksgiving	Worshipers

Usually, the mass starts at 8:00am and ends at 10:am, but because the public addressing system has issue today which made the priest priest to cut the preaching so short because of inability to communicate to the large number of worshipers in the large church, it ended at 9:50am.

I got back home at 10:30am by trekking means.

My first meal of the day

I was hungry when I got back home because I never ate in the morning since it's against our doctrine to eat before going to church. I had beans when I got home unlike others who mostly eat Rice on Sundays 😁. I cooked it actually, it took me 40 minutes to finish cooking.

Afternoon 12:00pm-4:00pm

I continued on my phone after eating. At about 13 minutes after 1 o'clock, I decided to take a nap which turned into a deep sleep, I woke up at 4. This isn't my first time experiencing this, it happens to me most times, especially when am either broke, board or had no where to go. Today's case is brokenness 🙄 🤪😩, my did just dry🤪.

Evening 4:00pm-Down

I woke up sweating so profusely because of the weather, very hooot here in my area.
I considered having a bath which I never did🤒, I continued on my phone.
At 5:00pm, I realised that it's time to publish diary post which is what I'm doing now.
As if the time of filling this report, it's 06 minutes after 06.
Hoping to have my shower and dinner as soon as I hit the POSTbutton.

I wish us all a super weekend, with love ❤️.
