TO: The ANGEL in my Womb
The Feast of Our Lady of Manaoag officially ended yesterday. Timely so, a brother (in faith) from Single for Christ of Fatima, Mandalyung sent us a text message to let us know that they witness snow fall yesterday. A miracle or a scientific feat? Whatever it is, I hope it is a good sign!
We had a guest choir in mass, the young seminarians from San Jose de Mindanao. And what a grand celebration it indeed was. The entire choir wasn't as good as the choir from St. John Vianey but two who led the Responsorial Psalm were exceptional. Too bad I wasn't too brave to take a video but enough to steal a still shot of them from my seat. Later on, during the banquet, your Mamilou and I personally congratulated them and engaged them in a Q&A about their lives as seminarians-in-the-making. They said it takes them many years, even more than those taking up medicine, to really end up as a priest. They enter the seminary, attend four years of Philosophy and take another five years to learn the major subjects in at Saint John Vianey. Do you wish to take on the life of a priest or a nun? Whatever you dream, I will offer you to the Lord, for you aren't entirely mine but an angel lent for my care to test myself as a mother, as planned.
I miss Jesus you know.
I want to tell you how He used to be my best friend and (giggle) boyfriend. That was a fabulous time we had back there; conversations with the Lord, healing people and touching their lives. We've only had this breakup because He had to test me and I wasn't as strong and determined to pass the trials as I thought myself to be. I wish I could back to those times but I have to admit that is takes some time and discipline to shed some of the person who hinders me to love Him as I did before. I know He is waiting but I've grown so much from the child He used to love. Now, a lesson fro you, to be truly connected to Him, we have to grow back into the child He always wanted us to be - loving, innocent, easy to repent. In fact, we don't need to grow up at all, for it is in being a child at heart that we can truly inherit His promises.
Another wonderful thing to note is your Ninang Jai's involvement in "Walk for a Cause" sponsored by AVON. It aims to raise money for Breast Cancer victims and raise awareness for those who don't know as much of it. I could joined it hadn't I been too preoccupied by my excitement to play photojournalist to the Feast earlier today. Fortunately, she bought two wrist bands souvenirs from the "walk". As it happens, she bought one when in fact it was for free. So she has the one she got free off registration and the other she bought ends up around my wrist. How timely and God-willed!
The funny thing about it is that I'd worn a mix of fuchsia pink and white, which were the international colors of the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. How timely and God-willed!
