The Tridentine Feast of the Immaculate (Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12:17) and Ever Virgin (Matthew 13:55 + Matthew 27:56, Jude 1:1 = John 19:25-27) Theotokos (God-Bearer/Mother of God-Luke 1:43)…
I was on my way to the
Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz in Bonanza, Fortune Marikina City for our Saturday
Gawarasal of our Basic Ecclesial Community while at the same time I was braving
the heavy downpour and the flooded road…
Soaking wet and tired
from this “ordeal” of mine, I opted to enter the chapel (which was a safe haven
from the flood waters) to pray and meditate upon the Holy Rosary, and prepare
for the afternoon’s activity…
But, alas, due to the
fact that even the participants were cleaning the mud that entered their house
due to the flood, our Gawarasal for that day was cancelled…
In spite of all this,
I opted to stay up to the Celebration of the Most Blessed Sacrament of the
Divine Liturgy of the Most Sublime Sacrifice of the Mass…
It was a day to
remember, due to the experience that I and the whole neighborhood have been
through, a “mini tribulation” that ended in HAVING THE FORETATSE OF CALVARY,
THE EMPTY TOMB AND THE PAROUSIA, THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD IN THE MOST HOLY
EUCHARIST!
The chapel’s
children’s choir (known as “tinig kerubin”-cherubims’ voices) sang with utmost
gusto for the praise and glory of our BLESSED LORD!
Father Randy’s homily
was both hilarious and edifying!
The evening’s simple
Liturgy was celebrated with its deserved splendor and dignity in that small
chapel!
A foretaste of HIM WHO
IS ALWAYS WITH US YET IS STILL COMING IN FULL SPLENDOR AND GLORY!
MARANATHA! COME O
LORD!
MARAN’ATHA! THOU HAST
COME, O LORD!
