Memorial of Saint Blaise
I wanted to attend the Mass today because it is the Memorial of Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr. He is the patron saint against throat diseases. Often during his memorial, a blessing using two big candles are given for the healing of throat diseases and other illness.
So, I will attend the 7:15 AM Mass at the Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. I left my condominium unit around 6 AM. Arrived there with the chapel still closed. It opens around 6:30 AM.
I was able to pray the rosary with the community.
I was not able to get the name of the Mass presider.
Takeaways from the homily are:
- We are challenged to confront our internal demons--The Gospel explicitly describes a spiritual affliction. In other forms, we are bound by the demons (addiction, paralyzing fear, anger, resentment, etc.)
- We surrender everything to Jesus--The demoniac recognizes Jesus' authority. Recognize that our own strength is not sufficient and we need the Lord to defeat our demons.
- Become agents of transformation--The man released from demons, he continued with the proclamation of what the Lord has done for him. After we are liberated, it is our duty and responsibility to be a witness to others.
After the Mass, I walked my way to The Landmark hoping that its food court is open so I can buy breakfast. It is closed. Decided to go home and just asked Edgar, the driver, to buy our breakfast after dropping me off.
Arrived home with enough time to prepare for the start of my work from home.
