Miraculous Medal

Decided to go back to St. Paul's since I was advised when I was there before that new stocks from Italy will be arriving by November, maybe including the Miraculous Medal.  I wanted to buy one, make a necklace with it as a pendant, have it blessed, and give them away on December 8 during the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

So left early as usual to go to St. Paul's first before going to Sto. NiƱo de Paz Greenbelt Chapel for the anticipated Mass.  There were new stocks but not what I wanted.  I wanted the design exactly as was described and designed by Mama Mary during the apparition with St. Catherine Laboure--the prayer "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you" at the edge of the medal, rays of light from Mama Mary's hand, her right foot can be seen stepping on the snake, the year 1830 on the globe or earth Mama Mary is stepping on, among others.

The person at St. Paul's suggested that I try the store in front of Adamson University.  The patron saint of Adamson University is St. Vincent de Paul.  St. Vincent de Paul is the old priest in the dream of St. Catherine Laboure.

From our condo unit to St. Paul's to the Greenbelt chapel, praying my devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus.  I arrived early at Greenbelt chapel that I was able to pray my other devotion, the 15 prayers of St. Bridget.  Thus, was able to join the community prayer of Divine Mercy chaplet and the rosary.

The Mass presider is Fr. Godwin.  His opening is how do we feel about the message of Jesus, that is, "In those days after that tribulations the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in the clouds' with great power and glory."  With all the chaos, Jesus will come with great power to fix the chaos.

He also pointed out the power of words.  Our words can build and can destroy.  Thus, we must be careful on what we say.

After, passed by BPI to withdraw money as payment to the vaccine I take every 6 months.  Will be going to the doctor on Monday to take the vaccine.  Bought food-to-go at Fat Fook Kitchen.  Paid for my purchase, will pick it up later.  Went to National Bookstore to buy a greeting card for wedding.  Found nothing.  Picked up my food, passed a stationery store where I was able to buy the greeting card, and went to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for my drink-to-go.

Then, proceeded home.
