Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Grocery day.  But first, went to Honda Makati.  They have transferred from Magallanes to Pasong Tamo Extension.  Edgar, the driver, already brought my Honda HR-V there last night for preventive maintenance.  Lorenz, my service advisor, already messaged me the services to be done with my car and how much.  Gave my approval so that they can already service it.  The appointment was at 9 AM but it was serviced around 8:30 AM when I gave my approval. Servicing will be completed around 2 PM.

Honda Makati at Pasong Tamo Extension

Left with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist and my Apple watch on right.  Wore also my on Cloudhorizon 2 Waterproof with lavander shoe lace.

We were serviced immediately.  Paid for the service so that Edgar will just have to pick-up the car.

We then went to Ayala Land to do our groceries at The Landmark.  It was also easy to find a parking slot.  Buying groceries is a breeze.  I brought several blessed rosary bracelets which I gave to the service crew at The Landmark Supermarket who are Catholics.  This is to ensure they will not throw this sacramental.  With the rosary bracelet is a gold foil sticker with the embossed Benedictine Cross.  After paying, left Edgar to bring home our purchases while I proceeded to the Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.  I left the custom embossing stamp (Benedictine Cross) and holding cross at the table where the priest would bless these items after the Mass.

I was able to finish my morning prayers and the Precious Blood of Jesus Chaplet.  Joined the community to pray the Rosary and the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Mass presider is Fr. Ejay.

The Gospel is about Mary and Joseph realizing Jesus is missing. They did not stop searching. They did not surrender from confusion, continue searching (for truth).

Mama Mary's heart is completely focused to God; her heart is pure. Her heart seeks before it judges, listens before reacts, trusts God even if answers do not come immediately. 

For us, it is easy to believe or swayed by fake news instead of analyzing and discerning. 

Pray for wisdom before making judgment. Ask not what benefits oneself but what pleases God. Seek what is right and not what is convenient. 

After the Mass, proceeded to the table for the blessing.  I was worried the priest will not bless the Benedictine Cross embosser stamp.  No questions were raised.  Fr. Ejay proceeded with the blessing.  Thank You! 🙏 Would the embossed Benedictine Cross gold foil sticker created by the embossing stamp considered blessed to?

Visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.  And for lunch, it is either the Yakiniku Like (if I will be seated immediately) or Chili's at One Ayala.  There are many people waiting to be seated at Yakiniku Like, and for individuals, I would be sixth in queue.  Decided to eat at Chili's instead.

I would have ordered (again) Country-Style Pork Belly and single serve Lemonade.  But the server suggested that I take the "All For Me" where I can already have my choice of solo-size starter, soup or salad, solo-size entree, and beverage.  My choice is house salad, country-style pork belly and lemonade. 😆

Food Choices is still closed and being renovated.  But some tables were set up on the fourth floor of Glorietta 4.  Proceeded there and started this blog.

Around 3 PM, I walked my way to Greenbelt Chapel to attend the anticipated Mass passing by Office Warehouse at The Landmark to buy Elmer's Glue All.  Joined the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.

The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Ronaldo.

After several feasts, we're back to ordinary time. 

The gospel is inviting us to go back to our identity. 

Jesus saw what was happening. His response: Pray to the King of the harvest that He may send many laborers. 

The 12 apostles are not perfect candidates. But the Lord chose them and gave the challenge to preach the Kingdom of God.  The same call is being given to us by the Lord, the same challenge.

The Gospel presents the situation the solution, and the challenge. 

After the Mass, checked Flying Tiger Copenhagen, bought shingling at The Lord Stowe's Bakery, and went to Muji to check if they have a food wrap that fits the food wrap case I bought yesterday from the same store.  Not available.

Before proceeding home, passed by Cash and Carry Mall where I bought a small Mango Bene at Mary Grace Cafe and Blizzard at Dairy Queen.

Home.
