As promised to myself, I will really make it happen and so I did. We were glad to have decided to pick the City Hall Parking Area as we got a well shaded slot just in time for the next mass.
As we enter the Basilica, I started to feel and see a thick crowd of people coming from various corners of Cebu. I was not sure if all were really from Cebu as I can see some tourist guides waving their flags. I was pretty sure there were groups of tourists. Some maybe only curious about our beliefs but I could sense that some really wanted to become part of the entire celebration.
The weather must have felt for us and gave us a cooler breeze than expected. Though the sun was out it didn't stop the people from being attentive to the homily of the priest. All were very much focused. Everybody came with various intentions. Mine was to extend my gratefulness for the many blessings that was given to me and my Family. I wished for good health and safety for every citizen too.
It was then when we sang the Bato Balani sa Gugma, that I felt my goose bumps. It's a good and mixed feeling to be one with the people in pleading for our prayers to be granted.
I wish to continue until the last day. I hope I really can.
