Last July 31, I was given a chance to join my bestfriend's roadtrip to the northern part of Cebu, Lindogan Sibonga. Her sister arrived from Iloilo together with her husband for a visit to the "Marian Monks of the Holy Eucharist". I offered to drive so off we go!
This is a Marian site where the image of our Lady of Fatima shed tears, and a lot more unexplained phenomenon.

| The monastery of the Marian Monks of the Holy Eucharist |
This is the view once you arrive from the parking lot. You need to walk towards the main chapel situated in the mountain. Just a few minutes (around 3-5 mins). Just offer the sacrifice of walking for Mama Mary.
You need to line up to kiss on the image of our Blessed Mother, while lining up you can see along the way the wheel chairs, letters of intentions, thanksgiving letters, miracle letters, pictures and everything unexplainable.

| View on the second floor while waiting in line |
When you reach the second floor, you can see the view of the original chapel which has beautifully transformed into this. Thank God for all the generous people who were so kind to financially support and renovate the chapel.

This is an iron grill with an M design. One can still see the view below while waiting in line.
The pictures above are the pews on the second floor.

| Angel carrying Holy Water |
This beautiful Angel greets you on the second floor. You are near and about see our Blessed Mother. You have to prepare youself to see the miraculous image of our Blessed Mother. Dip your fingers in the Holy Water, make the sign of the Cross and pray... Tell our Blessed Mother your problems, your wishes and all the burden that you are carrying. Believe me She listens to you.
The following images are what you will see once you have entered the Holy Chapel of our Lady. This is the altar.
===========================================================
This is the Miraculous Image of our Lady of Fatima
There is a prayer area at the side of the chapel where you can still see the Miraculous Image or there are kneelers right below the image of our Blessed Mother. Here you can feel her presence, you can even smell the scent of flowers, very strong rose scent.
Once you are done with your prayers of intercession, there is a mini-museum where you can see memorabillia's of the history of this Marian Shrine. I will be showing them on my next post.
