I’m supposed to make an entry about the recent activities we had in the publication. However, since I know that most of my colleagues who are also bloggers will do the same, I will deviate from the topic and have this one in lieu. But I will also be posting my experience soon.
For the time being, I will narrate my reunion with the MAN I haven’t visited for the longest time. The MAN I missed so much. The MAN I owe a lot. The MAN who gave me life and the MAN exalted by everyone. That MAN is none other than GOD.
Just like everybody else who believes in Him, completing or at least attending a couple of Aguinaldo masses for nine consecutive mornings is a must before celebrating His birth. In short, I, together with my two friends, managed to woke up as early as 3 o’clock in the morning to attend the very first Aguinaldo mass of the year.
It was a fulfilling experience for me to have finally wandered again in His house after a long time of negligence. I was excited to see Him again and feel His presence in my spiritual life. Indeed he made it. There’s nothing so fulfilling than having the feeling that God is with you; that He’s willing to accept you again regardless of your sins, lapses and shortcomings; that He loves you (I was sure of that because I felt it); and that He does not judge you superficially because He knows what you feel, He knows what’s in your heart.
The duration of the mass seemed insufficient for me to confess everything I have inside to Him. Off we went to the neighboring town and prayed to San Antonio de Padua. He is the Patron Saint of the people in Sibulan. People from different places come together every 13th of the month to attend the mass and light candles after. This has become a tradition for many years and we are not exempted to that. (I know paragraph is kinda not necessary but since I am narrating, I hope you won’t mind me including it.)
The mass was over when we arrived so we just lighted candles. I took the opportunity to converse with God and managed to say all that I have to say at the moment. I felt so cleansed right after.
We went back to the city with satisfaction in my heart. I know it’s not enough so I will be striving everyday to make it up to Him. I won’t be making a promise but insofar as the circumstance will permit, I will really try my best to finish the nine mornings. Not because it’s a tradition; not because I want my wish to be granted; not to become religious in eyes of the people around; but rather to serve a deeper purpose which only me and God know.
I will also be taking this chance to answer the tag passed to me by Ms Donna. Maraming salamat miss dOnna. Ngayon ay masusubukan na naman ang galing ko sa pagdarasal. Hay sana marunong ako. Di bale na, sige ganito nalang:
Mahabaging Panginoon, naway gabayan Mo Po ang sino mang uupo bilang susunod na pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas. Huwag Nyo Pong ipahintulot na maghari ang kasakiman niya sa kwarta upang gamitin ang kaban ng bayan para sa pansariling kapakanan. Gabayan Nyo rin Po kami na makapaghalal ng nararapat na pangulo. Hindi po namin kailangan ng henyong pangulo sapagkat maaaring gamitin niya lamang ito upang lituhin ang sambayanan. Bagkus ay kailangan lang po namin ng pangulong malinis ang kalooban at malinis din ang hangarin para sa ating bansa at sa mamamayan. Hindi na po kami aasang yayaman pa ang ating bayan dahil iyan po ay imposible. Ang sa amin na lang po ay malutas ang kaguluhan sa pagitan ng ating gobyerno at ng mga rebeldeng NPA, Abu Sayyaf at ibang pang mga terorista upang wala ng magbuwis ng buhay. At kahit papaano Po ay kumunti ang bilang ng mga taong walang kain at dumadi naman ang bilang ng mga taong may trabaho. Maraming Salamat Po. Amen.
Ngayon naman ay ipapasa ko ang tag na 'to kina: Bong, Yanz Froglet, Dhianz, Ate Joshy, Mary Narvasa, Joel Ambisyoso, Kosa, Pusang-Gala, at sa lahat ng may gusto pakikuha na lang.
