Sinulog Week 2013

One of the things I prayed during the Sinulog Festivities was to have a good weather during the procession on Saturday. It could rain but not so hard that the people have to walk their way through floods, it can be sunny but the heat shouldn't get us scorched or at least it's got to be windy! Nevertheless, let His will be done!

meteor showers!

It was two years ago at this time when it rained hard during the procession that we have to make our way through the floods on the way to the Basilica! But despite of the heavy downpour, heaps of devotees to the Holy Child Jesus still attended, stayed and danced in the rain after the mass with drenched clothes! That moment defined the fiesta as it proved the unceasing devotion of the people to Sto. Nino. Personally, the prayer I mentioned above is quite selfish since it is for me to remove a bit of discomfort we usually experience during these times but I have to keep in mind too that I have promised myself three years ago also to take every drop of rain as a sign that blessings are on its way and never complain when it comes unexpectedly!

On the Sinulog Day, it dawned on me that there were a lot of income opportunities to choose from! Good thing, I didn't stayed much at home as I usually do and I also did some vending although it was not that much but this is another thing I should keep in mind, ALWAYS LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES either  to serve, earn, sell or even to do random acts of kindness and love to others!

Cheers and Pit Senyor! :-)

Reflections on the Sinulog Procession

was not able to get through the church grounds
but managed to finish the mass outside the gates

I was having second thoughts if I will join the procession yesterday or not but since there is no reason for me not to participate, I just did and it was good to hear mass again in the Basilica during the eve of its fiesta ( I used to hear mass after the procession before at the Cathedral) even if we were just outside the church gates due to so many people attending the Holy Mass after the procession. I also felt that I fervently prayed more than before compared to the previous Feast of the Sto. Nino processions I have gone before! 

trying to tkae a good shot of the fireworks through the banderitas!

Though I was really praying I couldn't help notice the crowd who joined from different walks of life! I could feel the joy overwhelming among us as the image of the Holy Child Jesus passed by before the mass was about to start. We were waving our hands and closed our umbrellas to drench ourselves with the pouring rain as a sign to receive the blessings that we believe God will be giving all of us since we have taken part in the feast celebration for the past two weeks (no, not necessarily completed). I myself, did my crying in the rain that time!

The dancing continued together with the fireworks after the mass ended. It was indeed a fulfilling day and there are no regrets that I joined the procession because I believed that I was even more blessed!

Pit Senyor! :)
