First Friday of 2025
I am still on a vacation leave in order to avail the benefit of several holidays. Just using five (5) of my available leaves, I am able to enjoy fourteen (14) days straight of doing non-work related. LOL
It is the first Friday of January and first Friday of 2025, I would be attending the 12:15 PM Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. I was late that I am unable to join in praying the rosary as a community. The rosary is prayed before the Mass.
The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
Saint John the Baptist is a great prophet, a miracle baby, and received the Holy Spirit while in the womb (when Mama Mary visited Elizabeth).
John's baptism (water) is of repentance. Jesus' baptism (Holy Spirit) is of forgiveness and salvation.
John's humility is at a forefront--he new his role, he accepted his role, and he freely played that role.
For reflection: Do we know our roles? Do we accept them?
God is God, so we follow. God is God, so we obey.
What is worst? Believing that one does not need God.
After the Mass, I went to Italianni's for lunch. This would be the only meal I would be eating for today (fasting) and must not have meat (abstinence). When I reach my 60th year, I can forego fasting. 😉 So for my lunch, ordered Sicilian salad (ate half at the restaurant and half to-go, PhP595.00) and Parmesan crusted fish fillet (PhP595.00).
Went home after passing by SM Makati to check for a polo blouse.
