Will be attending the 4:30 PM anticipated Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenblet Chapel. With Edgar, the driver is his son and his niece. The latter was with them for a short vacation; thus, they would be strolling Greenbelt and Glorietta.
I was able to finish my Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet and joined the community to pray the Rosary.
The anticipated Mass presider is Fr. Benny.

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.
My niece happens to be at the mall, too. We met up and teased her for a free coffee. Tried the newly opened Japanese coffee shop.
Home.

When I attended the last Sunday Mass, learned that today for the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, there would be an investiture of the brown scapular after the Mass. Thus, decided to attend the 6 PM Mass there today.
We will be bringing Theo, the dog, when we go there as Lyn will also be attending the Mass. Was picked-up by Edgar, the driver, around 5 PM.
While waiting for the Mass, prayed my Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet and joined the community to pray the Rosary.
After the Mass, the priest placed the blessed brown scapular individually.
Before going home, passed by Pet Express to buy dog food for Theo.

Since I was not able to attend the anticipated Mass, I would be attending the Mass at the Holy Family Parish. Normally, I would walk my way there because there is a drizzle, I asked Edgar, the driver, to bring me there.
After the Mass, went home.

Left with my Tudor Black Bay 54 on my left wrist and my Apple watch on my right. Was dropped off at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel for the Friday Mass.
I was able to finish my Precious Blood of Jesus chaplet and a decade of St. Gertrude chaplet. Joined the community to pray the Rosary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus prayer.
The Mass presider is Fr. Ramil.
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.
After, I visited Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. Went to the department store's supermarket to check if low fat milk is available. Not available. Then bought medicine at Mercy Drug.
For lunch, I went to Racks for lunch. Ordered their new seafood meal.

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:
After the Mass, went to manam to buy food-to-go.
