The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy

One of my favorite prayers is The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. I got hold of a booklet on the Life and the very marvelous story and life of St. Faustina Kowalska and on the promises of the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy when I was young, around high school. I just followed the directions written in the booklet and prayed hoping what I did was the right way of saying the Chaplet. In fact, during that time, when I want to be artistic on saying the Chaplet, I sang it (like a Gregorian Chant of some sort), still hoping that it was how it was sang. I watched one episode on EWTN, the whole community praying and singing the Chaplet. I was amazed, without exageration, that the way they sang it was how the way I sang it! (my prayer was heard!) from that day forward I am proud to say that I am a devotee of the Chaplet and I am constatly reciting the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy

I want to share with you on how it is recited:

This is done using the regular rosary beads.

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.

2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).

4. Conclude with (three times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen

My New Phone - A Nokia C6

My father was issued a service celphone. He is an elected government official. However, he does not know how to use the phone (since it was a touch phone). Unfortunately, last December, it was recalled due to some unavoidable circumstances and he was advised to return the unit. I was using That celphone since I was the only one who knew how to use the unit. I had no choice but to comply. I was sad since it was a very nice phone. Fortunately, I tried calling my service provider and inquired if they are offering a free unit, yes they are offering. I asked if I was qualified, and fortunately, I AM QUALIFIED! Thank God! There was a wide range of celphone units (the free units). I did not like the free units since it does not have a wifi feature. What I need is a unit that can connect to the internet:). I chose a Nokia C6 but I need to shed a few thousand pesos. So this is the phone that I am using now. I really love it!

From December up to this writing, i did not realize that I can update my blog using my phone :) in fact this is what I am using in updating this entry! Another blessing ey! ;)

A Prayer Answered!

I have always prayed that the Lord will give us a business of our own. Something that would involve all the family members and at the same way, could help our unemployed neighbors be productive. Finally, coming straight from my mom's mouth, a company contatacted my dad. Hopefully this is the answered prayer. Hopefully this is for keeps.

Back in 2011

It's been three long months and I have missed to update my journey. Three months and a lot of things has happened. A lot of things to be thankful for, a lot of things to reflect, a lot of realization and a lot of learning. The question is... can i sustain? Hopefully I can. May the sunrise of my life shine throughout and may the light be shared to everyone. Be blessed!

Another Blessing has come

October 16,2010. A very  memorable date that my family and I shall remember. A new blessing has been given to me and my family. I consider this a very memorable day since our Most Holy Mother gave us our dream wish. A BRAND NEW CAR!

Very memorable it is, since this is given on the month of the Hoy Rosary, 3 days after the feast of our Lady of Fatima. Thank you so much dear Mother Mary. I hope and I pray that you always protect and guide us. Never tire in showering us with your blessings, Oh Mediatrix and Co-Redemptrix of Grace. We love you!

From the showroom, before heading home, I asked my father that we stop by our parish church to light a candle for thanksgiving, The National Shrine of St. Joseph.

After 3 days of getting the unit, we had the car blessed and offered it back to the Lord for thanksgiving. No words can express our gratitude and thanks for the blessing. I have always thought that when we have the car blessed, it should be after the mass, and it did happen! the priest who celebrated the mass was the same priest who blessed the car. Thank you Father Randy!

Never tire of asking God for the blessings that we need. There are 3 answers for the prayers that we are offering:
- Yes
-No
-Wait

Im glad that our Father in Heaven answered our prayers and He said --WAIT and it shall be given in My time.
Thank you Father God!

Quick guide to Praying the Holy Rosary

This is a very quick guide on how to pray the Holy Rosary:

October - Month of the Holy Rosary

This month is the month of the Holy Rosary. In this particular month specifically on October 13 - is the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima. This day marks the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, Portugal. One of the marvelous acts of the Blessed Virgin Mary. And sadly, on this day, October 13, is the last apparition of our Lady of Fatima to the three shepherd children - Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. But the plan of the salvation of humanity has been unfolded. The greatest weapon that we the Blessed Mother has given us, Her children, is the Rosary and Scapular.

Have you offered your gift of reciting the Holy Rosary to our Blessed Mother?
