Single Mother on the go

Its a promise that I want to keep and keeping that promises here I am participating in this most awaited event of my life. I tagged along with my son, good thing my son is so participative enough as long as he has foods with him. The foods is just  bribe that I can give to my son, for him to follow and obey me.

We got to the Divine Mercy Shrine Hills, around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. We asked for the scheduled activities to the usher and headed right away for the confession. After the confession we sit back and waited for the six o'clock Holy Mass. The Gospel  reading is about "Thomas the Doubted", the Archbishop from Bukidnon gave us a remarkable homily which all of us devotees to a saint inspired to continue and spread the good news to everyone. 

After the Holy Mass my son and I stayed there and joined the vigil for the feast of our Divine Mercy. Even though the weather is not quite good, we still stayed in the Shrine Hills. We managed to have a place to sleep on, we used the chairs and put them all together for us to sleep. Then we woke up around 2:30 am because we joined the procession of Divine Mercy, followed by a Holy Mass the celebration of Divine Mercy Feast. 

The Holy Mass is about to end, and right in front of my very own eyes I witnessed this miraculous event. Just that the Archbishop about to bless all the petition and while the sun is rising, all of us saw this sun moving and looks like it is dancing. While it is rising it is shining differently, I got teary eyed when I saw that and on the other side there are 2 rainbows. I cant explain my feelings on that time but its really different and I know that the Lord is with us celebrating the Divine Mercy Feast. I am so thankful to witnessed the event but most especially joining and participating this wonderful event. 

I will talk and share more about this Dancing Sun, in my next post.

For many places 4 days to go they will be celebrating Christmas. On the other hand, there is a small place here in the Philippines that doesn't feel the spirit of Christmas because of the tragic event happen to them. Just recently, Bagyong Sendong hits Cagayan De Oro City and Iligan City at midnight time when everyone fall asleep. They are all shocked and surprised by the flood who just rushes to their houses, all they could was just run. Some of them, didn't survive for this tragic event and some are still missing.

For the season of Christmas, let's all work in hand in helping our fellow brothers and sisters who were affected by this calamity.

SENDONG RELIEF OPS UPDATE (from all sectors):

FOOD DONATIONS: Please be informed that there a number of our Muslim brothers and sisters that were affected by Sendong as well. Hence, AVOID sending PORK canned goods as much as possible as they will not eat it.

CLOTHING DONATIONS: While a number of OLD clothes were donated, they also need NEW underwear as well especially women and children. Sleepin...g mats and blankets are very much welcome!

TRAUMA COUNSELING: This is an urgent NEED as well for those who survived and lost their loved ones. We have very few psychologists and counselors in CDO and Iligan.

DONATING MADE EASY: Still many are UNAWARE that even LBC accepts donations to be delivered for FREE. Kindly encourage everyone to give during this Season of Hope.
