First, my husband said I am not enduring this, that I am enjoying. Indeed, through the Holy Spirit, I appreciate my sister Asuncion Ferrer who is blooming with God’ grace. She gave me a link to listen to Crystal Cathedral and my heart leaps with joy when she joins the 1215 noon livestreamed mass at Holy Family Artesia. Today’s homilist is Fr. Joachim Ablanida who spoke of sin as a slavery tool and a quicksand. Yet, “if you remain in God’s word, you are God’s disciples and His truth will set you free.” This is why I am enjoying God’s inner peace in me.
Second, I traveled to Kamay ni Hesus in Lucban, Quezon via Facebook, where Fr. Joey Faller led the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament which made me cry so much. Yes, I cry easily these days and I don’t hold back.
Third, my handsome favorite son woke us up with a text to ask what groceries we need. My wonderful hubby requested he buy me celery stalks for juicing. Imagine that – no calls made, family’s hearts are providing for me. When I offered to reimburse, he said no.
Fourth, handsome favorite dad of #princess2015la came by with his daughter, my favorite granddaughter bringing us dinner from Mizlala. Now, how could they have known that I was missing the folks in my Holy Land pilgrimage? I could not wait and ate a portion for lunch. I offered to reimburse and my favorite son in law also said no.
Fifth, my hairstylist Lee’s Salon donated hundreds of thousand Philippine pesos to buy her family in one of the provinces, sacks of rice and included some of the neighbors, too. Imagine that, her business is shut down, but her heart of gold is wide open. I joined in with a small donation.
I am giving to the Catholic priests who are making efforts to minister to us: Fr. John Cordero, Fr. Joachim Ablanida, Fr. Rodel Balagtas, Fr. Rolly Clarin and Fr. Dan Leary who does spiritual retreats. It is April 1and at 7pm, let us all light candles for the Light of God to heal this world.
Sixth, my Koreanovelas that are keeping my heart open are: When Winter Comes – the Wind Blows, Chocolate and Secret Affair.
Thank you for Facebook and other forces of positive good. My 25th day of social distancing
