Bacolod Chicken Inasal

I would be attending the Friday noon Mass at Greenbelt Chapel. Left around 10 AM with my Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.

I was able to finish my morning prayer, Precious Blood Chaplet, and started the St. Gertrude Chaplet while waiting for the Mass to start. I was able to join the community to pray the Rosary.

The Mass presider is Fr. Godwin.

The presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is in the Protoevangelium of James. Mary was brought by her parents to the temple to be presented to God, to be dedicated to God.

Mary is the most beautiful temple, the dwelling place of God. Beautiful because of her purity.

Three (3) things to reflect on the the presentation:

(G)race of God. Everything happens because of God's grace. The hand of God is working the life of Mary. It is for us to remember that God is always journeying with us. Do not underestimate what God can do to our lives.

(G)uidance from her family, specially by her parents. Saints Joachim and Anne are faithful in leading Mary closer to God.

(G)enerosity of Mary. God respects human freedom. Mary is generous in giving her "yes" to God. God was able to accomplish many things through Mary because of her openness and obedience to God.

After the Mass, proceeded to Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark, one of the Jubilee churches. I hope to gain a plenary indulgence and I offer it for the souls in purgatory who willfully rejected Christ's divinity.

And for lunch, I decided to try Bacolod Chicken Inasal as they have fish in their menu. Unfortunately, I cannot compare it with the restaurant I tried yesterday as I would not be eating meat (chicken) today.

I ordered their Sinigang Salmon Belly (PhP337.00), plain rice (PhP45.50), and Black Sambo (PhP145.00) for dessert. Not bad. I was not able to finish the viand that I have to bring a doggy bag.
