Today was incredible. If you told me all the details that went on today, yesterday, I would not believe such a thing. Every moment was crazy. I'll cut all the crap of school and just head down to the Healing Mass. The healing mass in St. John was one of those masses where people faint because of some spiritual contact. Of course I wanted to experience this, knowing that this could be a once in a lifetime experience. But when I got there, holy moly. It was filled with different faces of different sufferings yet, they were all filled with hope. 4,000 people patiently waiting on their turn with the holy priest. It was overwhelming and at that time I thought I had no chance on ever encountering the priest. So me and a bunch of other girls decided to get out of the way of everyone.
Mikha, Mary-anne, Nicole and I decided to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. After walking to the movies from St. John talking in Tagalog. the walk seemed like a breeze. Surprisingly, I saw my old neighbor there, John. At first I heard "is that rio?" and it took me a second to recognize the face! It was like all the years came back and I realized how much older we are. So back to the movie, pretty good. I underestimated it. Saw loads of faces after the movie and we asked Neal for a ride back to St. John. (Thanks again, Neal!)
My assumption of having no chance of seeing the priest and experiencing his magic was a complete turn around. With Tita Mila as our hook ups, we got inside Palvakis and waited for our turns to feel the priests spirit. After making a couple of new friends and conversations here and there, it was finally my turn. I could see him coming, and I heard God talking to me. He told me this was going to by my eye-opener. And when the priest touched my face, I felt him. I felt God. I know this might sound crazy, but I know deep in my soul that he was there. And I was more overwhelmed. I was enlightened.
"I'm so glad I experienced it with you guys, I couldn't imagine ti with anyone else....AWWWW"
