My Wife And I Believed In Church Wedding For It Is A Foundation To A Family, A Basic Unit Of Society.
When my wife and I went to central Europe for the 1st time and for 31 days from London, Britain, to Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria to Spain, Switzerland and to Holland, we stayed for a couple of days in each big city that we visited.
We paid a visit 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 didn’t join me for the four days Rotary International 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 , died unexpectedly.
Our boy Bong accompanied her back since I had to attend in Nice, France a Rotary World Convention where I pre-registered which was in this convention where I heard the brief sworn statement of the living saint, Mother Theresa of Calcutta, India, an Austrian state a small and frail girl 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 belief in God.
The second time we were back was in Eastern Europe and we paid a visit to 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 paid a visit to the pretty town of Prague in the Czech Republic.In Medjugorje you’ll find a good Medjugorje accommodation.
For three times, my other half and I returned to the United States with our boys 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 City in a tiny plane to Calgary and we had an exceedingly frightening flight for it’s a stormy night and the flight was additional bumpy. Thank Heavens we arrived safely in Calgary for we prayed to Him intensely.
In our come home, we went to Vancouver, Canada and witnessed the stunning 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 grandchildren joined us. We visited modern and classy towns on a train from Hongkong.
My grandkids enjoyed it a great deal. It was extraordinarily memorable to them.
Of course, it was fairly pricey but the experiences were enhancing and widening.
When my better half and I joined the Eucharistic Congress of the Heart of Jesus in Guadalajara, Mexico, it’s a different kind of non secular exposure. Some Dominican Monks of UST and Holy Heart of Jesus Priests were with us in that spiritual convention.
My other half and I saw the majestic Pyramids of the pagans in Mexico Town where my wife climbed it up with the more youthful clergymen. I didn’t go up any longer and some of the participants.
Then for the 1st time, I saw with my wife the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe where the Sanctified Virgin seemed to Juan Diego, a native of Mexico, and where the image of the Sanctified Mary was printed in his coat. It is a miracle.
The Divine Mercy attention was still unheard of and my other half was an advocate 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 married life, attended a convention retreat in Malibu Center in California, USA for six days exclusive for leading players in the Catholic church alone.
Monsignor Rey Manuel Monsanto together with some four Philippine priests, Monina Tayamin, a national evangelist from Manila, and Fr. Mar Arenas, president of the Philippine Apostolic Congress of Mercy and the rector of the Nation’s 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 area where he’s the regional spiritual director.
I’m all for the glory of Our Lord God regardless of whether my wife is not with me, for she wants such deep information on the way to effectively promote in Mindanao, in her area of responsibility, the glory of The Lord God thru the attention of the Divine Mercy together with other lay leaders in Mindanao.
She’ll be home in the last week of July where I’ll meet her at the NAIA Airfield with my child Rommel and his other half Kookie.
In the remaining years of our lives, we may dedicate it devotedly for God’s glory and like the biblical leader, Joshua, when he revealed, 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.
