First Friday of May 2026
Today is the First Friday of May 2026 and I would be attending the noon Mass at Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. Left with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right. Wore my Yui Tabi shoes.
On the way, I was able to finish my morning prayers. At the chapel, I was able to finish the Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet and joined the community to pray the prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
Today we celebrate St Joseph the worker
Why did Jesus have a father who has to work? Why a carpenter?
It points to a certain truth: Jesus is truly human (and truly God). He grew up the way we grew up ("grew in wisdom and strength").
Labor entered in our lives with the sin of Adam and Eve.
But work is sanctifying. It helps us to have dignity, develop personality, etc. When we work, we participate in God’s creation and redemption. To use our talents not only for ourselves but service to others. When we use the talents according with God’s will, this has become redemptive.
Our blessings can become curse when we don’t use it according to God’s will.
After the Mass, visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Bought glue tape at the Office Warehouse inside the same department store.
Lunch is at Nanyang in Glorietta where I ordered the laksa (prawn), Hainanese Kaya with honey traditional toast, and honey lemon tea.
After eating, that is where I noticed that the Bacolod Chicken Inasal is closed. This is where I usually eat during Friday since I abstain from meat on Fridays. (sad) Hopefully they reopen either at Glorietta or at One Ayala.
Bought some stationary items at National Bookstore.
I was thinking of buying ice cream at Dairy Queen in One Ayala. The queue is long and decided to buy instead at Cash and Carry Mall before proceeding home.
Passed by our Washington apartments to see the progress of the repainting.
Bought the ice cream-to-go as planned before proceeding home.
