My Other Half And I Believed In Church Marriage For It Is A Foundation To A Family, A Basic Unit Of Society.
When my better half and I went to central Europe for the first time and for 31 days from London, England, to Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria to Spain, Switzerland and to Holland, we stayed for two days in each major city that we visited.
We visited 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 4 days Rotary World Convention in Nice, France since she had to return to Cagayan de Oro hurriedly for her pa, Santiago Gavas, who was 90 years in age , passed away surprisingly.
Our child 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 passing testimony of the living saint, Mummy Theresa of Calcutta, India, an Austrian national a tiny and frail woman who touched the Rotarians in an easy speech in English.
An American Astronaut, John Glenn, who later on changed 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 visited the famous Medjugorje Shrine where the Blessed Virgin Mary of Bosnia Herzegovina appeared and we then proceeded to see the famous Shrine of the Black Nazarene and visited the pretty city of Prague in the Czech Republic.In Medjugorje you’ll be able to find a good Medjugorje accommodation.
For 3 times, my better half and I went back to the States with our boys Bong and Rommel and the third time was with widow Grace Dalisay where I attended a Rotary Convention in Calgary, Canada. We took off from Seattle City in a tiny plane to Calgary and we had a particularly frightening flight for it was a stormy night and the flight was additional rough. Thank The Lord we arrived safely in Calgary for we prayed to Him intensely.
In our come home, we went to Vancouver, Canada and experienced the beautiful Niagara Falls and we traveled 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 pretty country, the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
When we travelled to Singapore 10 years after with our sons, then to Shenzhen, China, Macau and Shanghai, in Mainland China, our grandkids joined us. We visited modern and complicated cities on a train from Hongkong.
My grandkids enjoyed it very much . It was very notable to them.
Of course, it was kind of pricey but the experiences were boosting and dilating.
When my wife and I joined the Eucharistic Congress of the Heart of Jesus in Guadalajara, Mexico, it was a different kind of non secular exposure. Some Dominican Clergymen of UST and Holy Heart of Jesus Clergymen were with us in that spiritual convention.
My spouse and I saw the magnificent Pyramids of the pagans in Mexico Town where my better half climbed it up with the more youthful monks. I did not go up any more and some of the participators.
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 image of the Sanctified Mary was broadcast in his coat. It’s a miracle.
The Divine Mercy attention was still uncommon and my better half was a devotee of the Holy Heart of Jesus.
Today, I’m totally alone in our place but my boys Bong and Rommel who sleep in my room with a male carer were there to give me company.
My wife, for the first time in our wedded bliss, attended a convention retreat in Malibu Center in California, USA for 6 days exclusive for leaders in the Catholic church alone.
Monsignor Rey Manuel Monsanto together with some 4 Philippine priests, Monina Tayamin, a countrywide 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 religious director of the Western Mindanao Divine Mercy ecclesiastical region where he’s the regional spiritual director.
I’m all for the glory of Almighty God whether or not my better half isn’t with me, for she wishes such deep information on the way to effectively promote in Mindanao, in her area of responsibility, the glory of The Lord God through the devotion of the Divine Mercy together with other lay leaders in Mindanao.
She is going to be home in the week of July where I can meet her at the NAIA Airfield with my boy Rommel and his spouse Kookie.
In the leftover years of our lives, we may dedicate it devotedly for God’s glory and just like the biblical leader, Joshua, when he said, as for me and my household we’re going to serve the Lord.
Looking backwards, the Lord prepared us to serve in His Shrine as reported tagza.com.
