July to Remember!

Wow, what a wonderful month July has been! I am so thankful to God for all the amazing blessings He has showered upon me this month. I had so many memorable experiences that I want to share with you all. First of all, I was able to visit my parents in Cebu from July 14 to 16 and spend some quality time with them and my adorable nieces and nephew. We had so much fun together, playing games, eating delicious food, and catching up on each other’s lives. It was such a joy to see them happy and healthy. Second, I was also able to reunite with my OSD Angels family and have a lovely get-together dinner that was filled with fun, laughter, and a lot of talks till midnight. It was so nice to see my old friends again and reminisce about our good old days. We also shared our current challenges and achievements and supported each other with love and encouragement. Third, I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to visit the grave of my grandparents and loved ones after 12 long years. It was a very emotional moment for me to pay my respects and express my gratitude to them for their influence and legacy in my life. I felt their presence and guidance as I prayed for them and offered them flowers. And last but not least, I was so grateful to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, after 12 long years, I was able to attend her feast day on July 16 and that was the highlight of my short yet memorable visit to Cebu. I felt so blessed and honored to be part of the celebration and witness the beauty and grace of Our Lady. She has always been my protector and intercessor and I thank her for all the miracles she has done for me.

There you have it, my friends. These are some of the reasons why July has been such a special month for me. I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures and blessings. I also hope that you had a great month as well and that you are looking forward to August with excitement and optimism. God bless you all!

Chapel of Padre Pio at libis (Mobile Photography)

  I’ve been wanting to see the St. Padre Pio Chapel in Libis, I’ve read, watched and heard a lot about it. I personally don’t know the life of St. Padre Pio so I did some research, then found out that the five wounds of the Lord’s passion appeared in his body, making him the first stigmatized in the history of the Church. As expected, he did a lot of courageous and holy things for the Lord. That’s why he was canonized a Saint by the late Pope John Paul II. To know more about his life, you can visit  The Life and Works of St. Pio   There are two entrance in the chapel, so at first I thought we’re not going on the right place. However, it was an L shape chapel so you can enter either one of the doors. Another thing you will notice is a sign that tells the people of the proper dress code. Unlike other churches I’ve been to that has the same signs didn’t implement it the way St. Pio Chapel does.   It was an intimate chapel but was well ventilated and the structure was

Ave Maria......! Happy Birthday Mama Mary....... We love you....... Ave Maria...!

  Mary is the supreme masterpiece of Almighty God and he has reserved the knowledge and possession of her for himself. She is the glorious Mother of God the Son who chose to humble and conceal her during her lifetime in order to foster her humility. He called her "Woman" as if she were a stranger, although in his heart he esteemed and loved her above all men and angels. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit where only he may enter. She is the sanctuary and resting-place of the Blessed Trinity where God dwells in greater and more divine splendour than anywhere else in the universe, not excluding his dwelling above the cherubim and seraphim. No creature, however pure, may enter there without being specially privileged.    I declare with the saints: Mary is the earthly paradise of Jesus Christ the new Adam, where he became man by the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to accomplish
