Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, enkindle in us the fire of your Divine Love, send forth your Spirit Lord and it shall be created, and You Oh Lord shall renew the face of the earth, starting with my mind, my heart, my body, my brains, my soul.
Jesus my good good Shepherd, be my light and my salvation.
Have mercy on me a sinner.
Mary, the Mother of God, pray for us.
St. Joseph, help us.
St. Padre Pio, pray for us.
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Dear Jesus:
All is right with my world. Thank you. Praise you Oh Lord.
Barely done with my bathroom needs, the phone rang at 6:20am signaling the start of the prayer meeting with my /our Marriage Encounter group of 2007 circa.
It was an honor to be in their presence.
Despite my being ill prepared to start it an hour earlier. But, just checking the time difference now, it was just correct.730pm Manila is indeed 630am here.
Tsk tsk…again, I could have done better by simply checking it before hand.
I assumed.
Yesterday morning, around the same time, I was preparing for our online Dandelion Book Club meeting.
2 set of brothers joined us with Marcelina and Sophia Gabrielle.
Reminding me to post photos of this meeting and the one last month in our FB Group Page.
Also, to do recap of everything.
It is starting to really get cold here but thank God, for the experiences that warm the heart so much.
Thank you Lord Jesus, God the Father Almighty, God the Holy Spirit.
Ave Maria.
The readings we reflected on were about the Rich Vineyard Owner.
The tenants rejected the representatives of the farm owner and even his son.
The question we pondered on was what do we do when we are rejected.
Rejection and disagreements are part and parcel of everyday living.
We just stay clear and true to our values and the roughness will be lessened.
The pain of rejection can also be surrendered to our Lord Jesus at the foot of His cross. I beg Him to let His precious blood trickle on these PAIN and SUFFERINGS I have and take it with Him.
I release and give Him all of it in union with His passion, death and resurrection.
That His greatness may be glorified in my nothingness.
Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you.
Holy Spirit come in the emptied spaces of my heart, my mind, my body and my soul.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
