first day out

What better way to spend my first day out after a successful operation? There's none except to pay homage to the Redemptorist Church- Home of Dear Mother of Perpetual Help.

I can't say that I am a devotee of the Mother of Perpetual Help. But whenever I have the time, I go with my mom to the Church for the novena. Although I read my prayer book before I sleep, slip it inside my pocket whenever I go out, or touch her image posted on my wall or in my codals. Does that make me a devotee? Not still , right?! But I have strong faith with Her.

I lifted all my petitions to Her. And she has granted all of it in the most perfect time.

A day before I was rushed to the hospital, I went here for the novena mass. I gave thanks for a good medical examination results for my mother. I lifted my little prayers such as passing my Property subject.

A week after, I undergone a successful surgery. And I found out that I passed Property. So despite the lingering pain, I never had any doubts whether to visit Her and give thanks.

I couldn't walk any farther so we just stayed in the bench nearest to the Church door. While waiting for the next novena, I took my phone, looked up to the sky, and got this magnificent shot of the Church.

So here I am, sitting, waiting for the next novena. This is the best picture of myself after walking under the scorching heat of the sun with a speed like a turtle, and while wearing green and white striped pajama.

Thank you for everything dear Mother... I love you.
