MAiSEN
It is not the first Saturday of the month nor grocery day, but I will be going to the mall earlier because I plan to attend the Saturday Mass. It is the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary after all. 😀 Yesterday, it is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
It was more than an hour before the 12:15 Mass, I was able to finish my morning prayers, and the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet at the Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. I was also able to pray the Rosary with the community.
The Mass presider is Fr. Joel.
We are called to imitate the spirituality of Mother Mary's heart.
Listening heart. Heart that discerns, listens, prays. The "noise" of the world has already robbed us of a listening heart. "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)
Loving heart. Mary was troubled when she cannot find Jesus. Her love is not only sentimental, not only in good times. She loves even when it is difficult to love. Mary at the foot of the cross showed what true love is.
Leading heart. "His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.'" (John 2:5). Devotion to Mary is not a distraction to follow Jesus.
After the Mass, went to Greenbelt 5 for my taste test. I was toying with the idea of at eating at Paul Le Cafe, thinking that they are offering meal aside from coffee. They only have sandwiches. On my way to Paul Le Cafe, I saw the store of Chopard. I like their Happy Sports collection because of the dancing diamonds. LOL. Maybe next time...
So off to search for another restaurant. Most offer group meals. Except for MAiSEN. Nice!

I chose to try their Chicken Teriyaki set (PhP450.00). It is actually very good. I can eat here again anytime. 👍

Next stop is Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. It is a Jubilee Church and hope to gain a plenary indulgence. I offer this plenary indulgence to my Uncle Ramon, the youngest brother of my Tatay. The chapel is decorated like a fiesta.

So, it is time for my usual haunt at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf where I had a regular hot Cafe Latte (not my usual frappuccino). This is also where I started this blog.
Back to Greenbelt Chapel for the anticipated Mass. The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
Saints Peter and Paul are pillars of the church. Through them, we received the deposits of faith coming from the Lord Jesus.
Peter is responsible to proclaim the Gospel to the Jews. Paul is responsible for the Gentiles, non-Jews.
This is a reminder to us that we have two people as witnesses to the Lord.
Once a teaching (of Jesus) has been revealed, no one, not even the Pope, can change it. The teaching of the Lord brings us salvation.
After the Mass, went to BPI to withdraw from the ATM, Booya Bagels for bagels-to-go, Bistro Ravioli for pasta-to-go, and Chrisha's Kitchen for sugar-free cake.
