First Saturday of July
Something I should be improving on causes me to be late. Left with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
I was dropped off at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. The queue to the confessional is quite long. While in the queue, prayed the Act of Reparation, meditated on the Coronation of Our Lady, prayed the Rosary. Since I was really late, I am not sure I would be able to finish my confession before the noon Mass. I asked Mama Mary's help that I will be able to do so. I also informed the person after me that if the Mass started and I am next in the queue, I will let her go ahead of me.
And... I was able to finish everything. By the time the noon Mass started, I have finished my penance.
It is a concelebrated Mass.
Do the wedding guests mourn when the bridegroom is with them?
John the Baptist already referred to Jesus as the Bridegroom. The "bridegroom" is the God who come to dwell with his people.
The bridge groom will be taken … Jesus sacrifices and passion.
The church continues to fast because we long to see His face.
Does my fasting (charity, prayer, etc.) bring me closer to Jesus? We fast not because we have to but because we love Him.
After the Mass, had lunch Chili's at Greenbelt 5, visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark, and watched YouTube at the department store's food center to while away the time.
Around 3 PM, walked my way back to Greenbelt Chapel to attend the anticipated Mass.
I was able to join the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.
The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Alemar.
Tired physically, emotionally, intellectually, psychologically.? Rest in the Lord.
Ways to experience rest:
- Humble ourselves before the Lord. Sometimes our restlessness because we are not humble enough to accept we are tired.
- "Come to me to those who labor and burdened." Go to the Lord to find true rest.
- Let us live according to the Spirit. Even our mortal bodies will live. Living according to the flesh, we die.
After the Mass, went to manam to buy food-to-go.
Home.
