My Wife 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 2 days in each main 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 did not 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 International Convention where I pre-registered and that was in this convention where I heard the passing testimony of the living saint, Mummy Theresa of Calcutta, India, an Austrian nationwide a tiny 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 visited the pretty city of Prague in the Czech Republic.In Medjugorje you’ll be able to find a good Medjugorje accommodation.
For three times, my other half and I went back 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 City in a little plane to Calgary and we had an exceedingly scary flight for it’s a stormy night and the flight was additional rough. Thank Heavens we arrived safely in Calgary for we prayed to Him intensely.
In our return home, we went to Vancouver, Canada and experienced the stunning Niagara Falls and we journeyed by train from Buffalo City to NY City and returned home thru Honolulu, Hawaii to Manila.
It’s good always to be back in our gorgeous country, the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
When we travelled to Singapore ten years after with our sons, then to Shenzhen, China, Macau and Shanghai, in Mainland China, our grandkids joined us. We visited modern and classy cities on a train from Hongkong.
My grandkids enjoyed it a great deal. It was very remarkable to them.
Naturally, it was fairly pricey but the experiences were enhancing and dilating.
When my spouse and I joined the Eucharistic Congress of the Center of Jesus in Guadalajara, Mexico, it’s a different kind of non secular exposure. Some Dominican Priests of UST and Sacred Heart of Jesus Priests were with us in that spiritual convention.
My spouse and I saw the imposing Pyramids of the pagans in Mexico City where my better half climbed it up with the younger priests. I did not go up any longer and some of the participants.
Then for the first time, I saw with my wife the Shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe where the Sanctified Virgin appeared to Juan Diego, a local of Mexico, and where the picture of the Sanctified Mary was broadcast in his coat. It was a miracle.
The Divine Mercy devotion was still unheard of and my other half was a devotee of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Today, I’m all alone in our house but my sons Bong and Rommel who sleep in my room with a male caregiver were there to give me company.
My spouse, for the 1st 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 along with some 4 Philippine monks, Monina Tayamin, a nationwide 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 religious director of the Western Mindanao Divine Mercy ecclesiastical region where he’s the regional spiritual director.
I’m all for the glory of Our Lord God whether or not my wife is not with me, for she wants such deep data on the way to effectively promote in Mindanao, in her area of responsibility, the glory of Almighty God through the devotion of the Divine Mercy along with other lay leaders in Mindanao.
She will 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 just like the biblical leader, Joshua, when he claimed, as for me and my household we’re going to serve the Lord.
Looking back, the Lord prepared us to serve in His Shrine as reported tagza.com.
