el Presidente

I left the condo around 10 AM with my Tudor Black Bay 54 in my left wrist and my Apple watch in my right.

I was able to finish my morning prayers, and my Precious Blood Chaplet devotion; joined the community to pray the Sacred heart of Jesus Novena and the Rosary, while waiting for the Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.

The Mass presider is Fr. Marthy.

The growing hostility against Jesus grows. Because they are proud people, they find it hard to believe. They believe in the Lord but for them Jesus is just an ordinary man.

All devotions are empty if the foundation of our faith life does not believe in the power of Jesus.

Miracles happen because we believe in the goodness of God, we believe in the power of God.

Look into your faith life today. What aspect in your life have you not yet surrendered to the Lord?

We are not in control. Anytime, we can be called by the Lord.

Only in the Lord can we find meaning and purpose. Ask for the grace to make you realize that everything is in His hands.

After the Mass, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Also, bought a fresh water pearl Rosary bracelet ✔ at the Filipiniana section of the department store. This way, I have a "complete" set: fresh water pearl earrings, necklace, and (Rosary) bracelet.

For lunch, it would be in Food Choices at Glorietta 4. I saw last Wednesday about a combo meal for Lent. When I inquire about it, the store says it is not available. I found a combo meal at el Presidente. I ordered their Chopsuey and Fish Fillet Tofu combo meal. Since their fried rice has meat, replaced it with plain rice.

Went to SM Makati to buy a cosmetic bag ✔ which I will use as bag for the kids camera.

Since I promised to buy a notebook ✔ for Luis which he can use for his journal, went to Muji.

Home.
