"You are mine. Before I formed you, I knew you. And before you were born, I consecrated you. " -Jeremiah 1:5
On May 9, 2007 I had my first Solemn Mass at the Chapel of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in my hometown in Zaragoza. It was in the same chapel where I was serving in our Barangay.
After the Holy Mass, we proceeded to our residence for the reception. Before proceeding to the reception, I went straight to our small house where I was born on August 21, 1981 at 8 in the evening. It was also the house where I played the role of a priest with my brother ans sisters and cousins.
There I prayed and thank the Lord for the gift of life and of vocation. I blessed the place and ask the good Lord to keep my family in His love.
I do pray that families, homes consecrated to the Lord be seedbeds of vocation, like that of a humble home in Carmen, Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija.
Prayer:
Lord, continue to bless you Church with many vocations. Amen.
