Where have the musicians gone?
Not to worry folks, the musicians are not having a strike (to protest on petrol prices maybe?). What you are seeing , is actually a phenomenon called NO KARANT, as they used to call it back in those days (yes, I know, I am that old to have those magical words fall upon my ears). The last blackout I remember in church was due to a power surge caused by lightning strike mid-way through mass, many years ago.
Apparently, the blackout this morning was due to a power-station failure down the road of our church. The musicians set up their instruments anyway just in case the power comes back on mid-way through mass. But nope, it didn't come back on till just before Sunday School classes started. And so the Music Ministry resorted to singing Acapella style with the trusty Hymn books.
On one hand, we may complaint that it's the year 2008 and our electricity supply is still subjected to failure (come on guys, we've only got 11 1/2 years to the big Too O Too O), though we are still a Third World Country after all.
On the other hand, as Msgr Daniel reminded us today, we tend to take for granted what we have today. Our parents, our loved ones, our faith.. But imagine a world without electricity.. (yikes! Many people would be out of jobs! Including yours truly, working in a small fraction of the electrical industry).
Oh well, the mass this morning was indeed special in its own way. It helped us appreciate the beauty of the mass as it is.. no sound system, no music accompaniment, no projectors.. and it ended 25mins earlier than usual..
Sometimes, the best things are found in the simplest forms.. :)
I know this has nothing to do which church..
