My Wife And I Believed In Church Marriage For It’s A Foundation To A Family, A Basic Unit Of Society.
When my other half and I went to central Europe for the first time and for 31 days from London, Britain, to Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria to Spain, Switzerland and to Holland, we stayed for 2 days in each big city that we visited.
We made a trip to the famous Shrines of the Sanctified Virgin in Lourdes, France also Beiring in Brussels in Belgium, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, the Padre Pio Monastery in Loreto, Italy and the Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy.
She did not join me for the a few days Rotary World Convention in Nice, France since she had to go back to Cagayan de Oro hurriedly for her pop, Santiago Gavas, who was ninety years in age , passed away surprisingly.
Our boy Bong accompanied her back since I had to attend in Nice, France a Rotary Global Convention where I pre-registered which was in this convention where I heard the brief testimony of the living saint, Mummy Theresa of Calcutta, India, an Austrian national a small and frail woman who touched the Rotarians in a simple speech in English.
An American Astronaut, John Glenn, who later on turned into a US Senator, shared his experience in outer space which deepened his Christian trust in God.
The second time we were back was in Eastern Europe and we made a trip to the famous Medjugorje Shrine where the Sanctified Virgin Mary of Bosnia Herzegovina appeared and we then proceeded to see the famous Shrine of the Black Nazarene and paid a visit to the attractive town of Prague in the Czech Republic.In Medjugorje you can find a good Medjugorje accommodation.
For 3 times, my other half and I returned to the Usa with our sons Bong and Rommel and the 3rd time was with widow Grace Dalisay where I attended a Rotary Convention in Calgary, Canada. We took off from Seattle Town in a little plane to Calgary and we had a particularly scary flight for it’s a stormy night and the flight was additional bumpy. Thank The Lord we arrived safely in Calgary for we prayed to Him intensely.
In our come home, we went to Vancouver, Canada and witnessed the pretty Niagara Falls and we journeyed by train from Buffalo Town to New York and returned home thru Honolulu, Hawaii to Manila.
It’s good always to be back in our beautiful country, the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
When we travelled to Singapore 10 years after with our boys, then to Shenzhen, China, Macau and Shanghai, in Mainland China, our grandkids joined us. We visited modern and complicated towns on a train from Hongkong.
My grandkids enjoyed it a lot. It was terribly remarkable to them.
Of course, it was quite pricey but the experiences were enhancing and dilating.
When my wife and I joined the Eucharistic Congress of the Guts of Jesus in Guadalajara, Mexico, it was a different sort of religious exposure. Some Dominican Monks of UST and Holy Heart of Jesus Priests were with us in that non secular convention.
My other half and I saw the imposing Pyramids of the pagans in Mexico Town where my wife climbed it up with the younger monks. I did not go up any more and some of the partakers.
Then for the first time, I saw with my better half the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe where the Sanctified Virgin seemed to Juan Diego, a local of Mexico, and where the picture of the Sanctified Mary was printed in his coat. It is a miracle.
The Divine Mercy devotion was still uncommon and my other half was a devotee of the Holy Heart of Jesus.
Today, I’m all alone in our place but my sons Bong and Rommel who sleep in my room with a male caregiver were there to give me company.
My wife, for the 1st time in our married life, attended a convention retreat in Malibu Center in California, USA for 6 days exclusive for leading players in the Catholic church alone.
Monsignor Rey Manuel Monsanto together with some 4 Philippine priests, Monina Tayamin, a nationwide evangelist from Manila, and Fr. Mar Arenas, president of the Philippine Apostolic Congress of Mercy and the rector of the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Marilao, Bulacan, and Msgr. Rey Manuel Monsanto who is the spiritual director of the Western Mindanao Divine Mercy ecclesiastical region where he’s the regional non secular director.
I’m all for the glory of God even if my better half is not with me, for she wishes such deep information regarding how to effectively promote in Mindanao, in her area of responsibility, the glory of The Lord God through the attention of the Divine Mercy together with other lay leading players in Mindanao.
She is going to be home in the week of July where I’ll meet her at the NAIA Airfield with my boy Rommel and his spouse Kookie.
In the leftover years of our lives, we shall dedicate it devotedly for God’s glory and like the biblical leader, Joshua, when he said, as for me and my household we will serve the Lord.
Casting backwards, the Lord prepared us to serve in His Shrine as reported tagza.com.
