Mama Mary's Birthday
Today is the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I will be attending the noon Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.
On the way, I finished my morning prayers. I was able to join the community to pray the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Karl.
We look to Mama Mary as our mother.
Meaning of her birth:
- Birth has meaning only because we have a mission to play in this world. Our life is not an accident. Our life existence is willed by God. The meaning of Mary's life is upon her saying her "yes", her fiat. She cooperated with the loving plan of God.
- It is the feast of her nativity; but, what we hear is the birth of her Son. If we go to Mary, she leads us to her Son.
- To honor Mary. She is special because she is the mother of Jesus, she is our mother.
After the Mass, they were giving away free snacks. This is to celebrate Mama Mary's birthday.
Then, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.
And for lunch, ate at Yakiniku Like! at Glorietta.
A few steps, bought a half loaf of raisin bread at the Baguio Country Club.
Proceeded to my suki to put tempered glass and buy a case for my Samsung Tab A11.
Finally, I went to Uniqlo at SM Makati to buy a green top. There is color theme so that we can identify who are members of the Punto Por Punto Supporters who would be at SMX on Thursday. Bought a green top.
Passed by Mossanti to check for a dangling earrings. Did not find which I liked.

First Saturday of September 2026
Grocery day.
I would have to leave early as I have my first Saturday devotion after completing my groceries. Left around 8:30 AM with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
Since we were early, it is easy to get a parking slot. Doing the groceries is also a breeze. After paying, left Edgar, the driver, to bring home our purchase.
Walked to the side of the building (the department store is still closed thus cannot use its connection to the bridgeway) on my way to the Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.
I was the second in the queue for the Confession. Upon arriving, prayed the Act of Reparation for the first Saturdays of the month, then proceeded to the queue.
After, did the 15-minute meditation of The Visitation, finished my morning prayers and my Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet, and joined the community to pray the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Lawrence.
"The Lord is just in all His ways…" Just but kind; with laws but merciful.
The Apostles picked up grains for they are hungry. For the Pharisees, the issue is not about theft but because they did it on a Sabbath. For the Jews, it is allowed to pick up grains of others if you are hungry.
Sabbath is given by God as a gift, a time of rest, a day to come closer to God.
Sometimes we are focused on doing things correctly, forgetting the person in front of us. But where is the love?
See the person. Before judging, see the person. Before correcting, see the person. Before saying "this is the rule", see the person. Sometimes the holiest thing we can do is not simply following the rule but to love the person.
Don't just know His law, know His heart.
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Then, I proceeded to the department store's food center for lunch. It would be a quick meal because I still have a lot of tasks to do.
Went to Healthy Options to buy, this time, 1000 UI of Vitamin D3. Inquired what to do with the incorrect purchase I made of buying 5000 UI of Vitamin D3. I was advised as long as it is unopened and I have the sales receipt, I can have it replaced within 14 days from purchase. I said I will bring it tomorrow.
Decided to buy an Aquaflask tumbler and have Tilak's name embossed on it. It would be a welcome gift (he is in Manila for one month only and would be returning to the US again). We would be meeting-up with him tomorrow.
I am used to wearing stud earrings. I wanted to try hoop earrings. Went to F&C Jewelry at Glorietta. I was not able to find what I liked. Went to their branch at SM Makati. Found one and it is beautiful! Although, it is not the hoop earrings I was thinking of (something that dangles a little). Per surfing, it is recommended for senior ladies for a 25mm to 30mm diameter hoop earrings. Anyway, I still bought it. LOL

Would have left around 10 AM but documents that I need to sign and provide additional requirements have to be provided. Left late with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
Upon arriving at the Sto. Nino de Paz Greenbelt Chapel, the community is already praying the rosary. Thus, finished my morning prayers instead. I was able to join the community to pray the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer.
The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
"Can the guests fast when the bridegroom is with them?" Jesus is the groom. The Church is the bride. With the Jews, the people is waiting for the groom, not the bride.
But the days will come and the groom will be taken away from them and people will fast.
Jesus came in order to renew the laws. Then, the law is too legalistic (Pharisees), losing the spirit of the law. Compassion and empathy is forgotten.
After the Mass, I have my religious items blessed. Then, visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.
For lunch, ate at Tenya. When I finished eating, my niece called.
We went to Healthy Options for me to buy Vitamin D3. (Oops.. wrong dosage). We then went to SM Makati where my niece traeted me with a Frappuccino from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

Anticipated Mass
A rainy day.
Left around 3 PM to attend the anticipated Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.
I was able to join the community to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary.
The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
Jesus said that He will suffer and be killed. Peter said to Jesus that it will not happen. Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking as man does. "
Satan is using Peter for Jesus not to fulfill His mission.
Jews believe that the Messiah will come for earthly ways. It is not earthly life but the next life, the salvation.
"Take care of your body as if you will life forever. Take care of your soul as if you will die tomorrow. " -- St. Augustine.
After the Mass, visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.

Fr. Marthy is the Mass presider at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel.
Today is the Memorial of St. Augustine. St. Augustine's early life indulged in worldly affairs. His mother, St. Monica, prayed for his conversion.
Our hearts are restless until our hearts rest in You.
Most of our desires that our earthly somehow leads us to sin.
Where can we truly find peace?
Growth takes effort. Do you also strive to take care of your soul? Do you also strive to take care of the spiritual gift God has given you? Do you keep your lamps burning?
"Lord, grant me the grace that my last act on earth be an act of love for You."
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. And for lunch, ate at Phobac.
Since I am not happy with the kid's tablet I bought via Lazada, I decided to buy one. Bought a Samsung Tab A11 at Abenson. Immediately went to a stall for the tempered glass and tablet case.
Went to BPI to withdraw. Bought medicines at Mercury Drug at The Landmark.

Jesus was interested in how He is being known by the people. Most thinks He is a prophet. But Simon (Peter) said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." This truth was revealed to him by God the Father.
Christ = the Chosen One; the Annointed.
First time the Church is being mentioned in the Scriptures.
His mission will be continued through the Church, as witnessed by the apostles, disciples.
The Church is a community of believers, a community of baptized people.
The foundation of the Church comes from Jesus.
Satan attacks the Church, using people as his pawns. But the Church cannot be destroyed,
After the Mass, I would meet up with my niece as we would be going to the wake of my Aunt at Funeraria Paz in Manila Memorial Park at Sucat.
Passed again at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center to check the "bubble" Native Union pop-up phone. It is not available. My niece treated me with coffee at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at SM Makati before proceeding to the funeral parlor.

Without Christ, we are like dried bones, dead, with no hope
Love is embracing the Ten Commandments.
Two problems:
- We failed to know what is necessary.
- We failed to practice it.
Dichotomy: Our faith and our actions.
To do: Memorize the Ten Commandments

Memorial of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Again, left late to attend the anticipated Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. Left with my favorite Omega Speedmaster 38 mm on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right.
On the way, finished my morning prayers.
I am really late because as soon as I arrive, the community is already praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Left the bangle with the Benedictine Medal at the table where the priest will bless them after the Mass. Joined the community to pray the Rosary.
While waiting for the anticipated Mass, what was projected on the screen is the Memorial of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Thus, asked one of the ushers if the Mass I am attending is also the anticipated Mass. She concurred.
And Fr. Benny, the anticipated Mass presider, announced at the start of the Mass that the attending the today's Mass already met the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
Dogma is the faith we believe. The Assumption is one of the Marian dogmas. Before a belief becomes a dogma, the people are asked.
The Feast we celebrate about Mary it is not just about her. We don’t stop with Mary. Any title of Mary leads us to the Lord or because of the Lord. She is the intercessor.
Why the Assumption? Iniakyat katawan at kaluluwa.
Mary, after completing her life on earth, she was assumed into heaven body and soul.
Mary is because Jesus is.
If we imitate what Mary did, we, too, can go to heaven.
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Went to Healthy Options at Glorietta to buy Calcium Citrate. And for food-to-go at Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken & Sauce Bar and Crisha's Kitchen.

Sin destroys. Only love creates.
For a simple person, punishment is what deserves. But in His love, God gives us mercy.
Sin destroy relationships. Sin separates us from the Lord.
When we come to Mass, we seek the Lord who renews us from sin.
Do not waste time indulging in sin. Sin destroys but love creates.
Everyday God gives us another chance, another day to experience God’s presence.
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark.

Fr. Benny is the presider of the anticipated Mass.
How can we experience God? When can we experience God?
In the First Reading, Elijah heard the tiny whispering sound. It is the conscience. Conscience is part of us where God communicates with us.
In the Second Reading, the conscience joined with the Holy Spirit which made Paul speaks the truth to the people.
In the Gospel, Jesus said, "It is I. Do not be afraid." Dominus est.
After the Mass, visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel.

On the way, finished my morning prayers on the way. Joined the community to pray the Sacred Heart of Jesus chaplet and the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.
Our relationship with God is perfect, upon His creation. Paradise was lost because of us (Adam and Eve). God loves us so much that He wanted us to return to paradise by sending us His Son.
The way to God is not only by God alone but that we should want to be saved and go to Him.
We are not meant for this world but to be with God.
After, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Will have to return at 2:30PM to buy the Mass card.

First Saturday of August
Left the condo around 9 AM with my Omega Speedmaster 38 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on the right. Will have to be early for the first Saturday devotion.
The confessor is Fr. Alemar.
When I arrived, I was seventh in the queue. While in the queue, prayed the Act of Reparation for the first Saturdays of the month, and meditated on the Joyful Mysteries' Annunciation for 15 minutes.
Joined the community to pray the Rosary.
The Mass presider is Fr. Paolo.
Truth is truth even if no one believes the truth. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes the lie.
Truth is like a lion. It does not need defenders. Let it loose and it will be defend itself.
The three faces of a person:
- Face revealed to people. Public face.
- Face we reveal intimately to a small group of people. Private face.
- Face we do not reveal to others but known to God. Personal face. Face of truth.
Consequence of speaking the truth: death. John the Baptist stood as a conscience of Herod.
Conscience is God's built-in warning system. Be very happy when your conscience hurts you. Be afraid when your conscience does not hurt or disturb you at all.
Truth is vital; but, without love, is fatal.
Truth is not used to hurt people but food to nourish people.
We beg the Lord for the spirit of truth that God's truth would truly comfort, console and also challenge and confront us.
We often ask "am I happy?" The most important question is "am I free?"
After the Mass, I visited the Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. For lunch, it will be Chili's at One Ayala.

Strolled around Glorietta. By 3 PM, walked my way to Greenbelt Chapel to attend the anticipated Mass.
The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Ronaldo.
Multiplication of the loaves. All Gospels wrote this miracle.
It is logical to send the people back. The apostles wanted is convenience. Convenience is the enemy of growth.
The way of God is participation , be involved, guidance, generosity, love.
There is no miracle in what is easy, what is practical, what is convenient. Challenge us to seek what is difficult, the risky, the way of the Lord.
Salvation came from the Cross.
"We only have 5 loaves and 2 fish"versus "We only need 5 loaves and 2 fish" because the Lord is with us.
Turn back from convenience to allow the Lord to make miracles in our lives.
After the Mass, went to Kaya for our food-to-go.

The Gospel is about Jesus going back to His hometown where He was rejected. He did not make mighty deeds because of lack of faith.
Today is the Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
- Detachment in regards to how we look at God's creation. Detach from power, fame, riches, etc.
- Contemplation prayer. Read the Scripture, imagine it, and be part of the scene.
- Discernment. It is knowing what to do and say in order to fulfill the will of God. With the help of the Holy Spirit and God's grace. You know your choice is God's will when you are in peace with your decision.

Why do we follow the Ten Commandments? To be included in the Kingdom of God.
Do we consider the Kingdom of God as a treasure? How?
1. Have an understanding heart that can distinguish right from wrong.
2. To have a heart that loves the Commandments of the Lord. "Piliin ang tama, totoo at dapat."
3. To have a heart that is ready to sell everything we have for the Kingdom of God.

Were you in a discussion with someone but you have not heard a single word? Do we know how to listen, even to the Word of God?
Three categories of listeners:
- Drive thru listener. Let the message of the Lord go in one ear and out the other.
- Surface level listener. We listen but we do not let it transform us.
- Arm chair believer. Listen and reflected but no action.
Think of the Word of God like food: chew, swallow, digest.
We begin to bear fruit, produce that is something good.

Truly late leaving the condo to attend the Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel. I thought I would not be able to join the community to pray the Rosary since I am really late. Thank You for the "small" miracles since the community prayer started late. These miracles are truly blessins. As soon as I took my seat, a few minutes later, the community prayer started.
The Mass presider is Fr. Ronaldo.
Acceptance of not understanding everything should bring us to be compassionate and merciful.
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice."
Compassion is what we do outside of our plans, disturbs people. Compassion invites us to dialogue, to listen, to humble.
After the Mass, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Ate at Racks for lunch. Bought banana bread at Baguio Country Club.

Have you spoke incorrectly? Stumbled in your lines?
Spotlight effect. We tend to believe that people keep noticing our mistakes. In reality, most people are busy dealing with their own lives.
Sheep among wolves. He did not promise an easy life. But He said not to worry
Do not let the spotlight of fear be brighter than the light of God’s presence.
Stop focusing on what other people think. Instead focus on what God think about us.
In the end God’s approval is what matters.
