Saint Sharbel Makhlouf
I will be attending the 12 noon Mass at Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark because the relic of Saint Sharbel Makhlouf will visit the chapel. Also, it is the Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima. Since the department store would open at 11 AM (the chapel is inside the department store), left the condo around 10:45 AM with my (black dial) Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
There were already a lot of people when I arrived.
The Mass presider is Monsignor Regie. It is a concelebrated Mass with him are two more priests one of which is Fr. Hans, the parish priest of the Our Lady of the Assumption Parish and in charge of Saint Sharbel's relics.
Ask for these two graces:
Grace of fidelity. In the First Reading, St Paul is already in Athens. Athens is known for intellects, scholars, artists, etc. This is where he delivered his most powerful and compelling preaching and should be able to convert many. On the contrary, only a handful believed. Fidelity is most important. Success and results do not matter. Do not measure success by numbers, wealth, power. When we are faithful to God, we are already successful.
Grace of truthfulness. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truthfulness.
Fidelity and truthfulness go together. A faithful person is always truthful.
Living of this world, in order to get what we want, we compromise truth and fidelity.
After the Mass, we were blessed with oil of Saint Sharbel and given a prayer card. We were able to venerate Saint Sharbel's relics (bone).
Fr. Hans announced they have an 8 AM Mass for the sick at his parish on May 22. After, they give a small bottle of oil of Saint Sharbel. They do it every 22nd day of the month.
For lunch, I went to Food Choices at Glorietta 4 to eat at MAiSEN.
Proceeded to ASUS to have my Chromebook repaired. Upon boot-up, the Chromebook can detect the micro SD. But the screen locks and you login again, the micro SD is no longer detected. There is a warning message that the SD card was not properly ejected. They said, since it is a Chromebook, usually the cost is 80% of the original cost since the motherboard is often replaced. Praying that this is not the case. If this would be the case, I will just set my Chromebook not to lock. LOL
Had a frozen yogurt at Red Mango before proceeding home.
