APRIL 2-3, 2015- MAUNDY THURSDAY TO GOOD FRIDAY

OFFERING TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, OUR MISSION WORKS.

IN THE PREVIOUS DAYS, WE HAVE PREPARED FOR OUR PILGRIMAGE TO BANAHAW.

BROUGHT THESE ITEMS.

GAVE THESE MONETARY PROVISIONS TO ONE OF OUR ELDERS FOR EXPENSES THAT WILL BE INCURRED IN OUR PILGRIMAGE TO BANAHAW.

 HOLY THURDAY

MEET WITH OUR BRETHREN.

WE WENT ON THE ROAD GOING TO BANAHAW.

PASSSING BY LAGUNA AREA.

 AT BATANGAS AREA, WE ATE SOMETHING FOR BREAKFAST.

 ARRIVING IN STA. LUCIA COMPLEX, BANAHAW AREA, DOLORES QUEZON.

PICTURES AROUND THE AREA.

 ARRIVING AT AN AREA NEAR PRESINTAHAN, BANAHAW, DOLORES QUEZON.

 I WAS TOLD BY OUR ELDER THAT THE ONE MANAGING THIS PLACE DID NOT RESERVE US A PLACE HERE.

WE HAVE ALREADY TALKED WITH SOMEONE HERE A FEW DAYS AGO AND IT IS CLEAR ABOUT THE ARRANGEMENTS ABOUT THE PLACE WE WILL STAY.

BUT THEY HAVE FAILED IN TERMS OF THIS.

THUS, WE WENT DOWN FROM THAT AREA.

 EVEN IF THEY DID THIS TO US, WE GAVE THEM RICE PROVISIONS AND A BOX CONTAINING ITEMS, AS OUR FAREWELL GIFT TO THEM.

ONE THING THAT WE WILL CERTAINLY DO, NEVER TO STAY IN THAT PLACE AGAIN.

AFTER YEARS OF BEING THEIR FRIEND, FROM 1993, WE WILL CUT OUR TIES WITH THEM IN THIS WAY-NOT GO THEIR PLACE EVER AGAIN NOR STAY THERE.

THAT I AM DETERMINED TO DO TILL THE END.

IF WE EVER CROSS PATHS, WILL STILL TALK WITH THEM FOR A WHILE, JUST TO BE NICE TO THEM- BUT NEVER WILL I GO BACK TO THEM.

 THAT MOMENT, FROM A SUNNY SKY, IT DARKENED.

I WAS GIVEN A MESSAGE THAT GOD WILL STRIKE THIS AREA FOR WHAT THEY DID TO US.

SOMEONE IN OUR GROUP INTERVENED, THAT IT MAY DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS THAT THEY DID IT TO US.

 WAS THEN GIVEN ANOTHER MESSAGE:

TO SEEK ANOTHER FAMILY WHO WOULD WELCOME US.

THIS IS TO GIVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS PLACE.

 WE PASSED BY THESE AREAS.

THE SKY STILL DIMMING.

 SOMEONE IN THE AREA NEAR STA. LUCIA, BANAHAW COMPLEX, DOLORES, QUEZON HAS ACCEPTED US,

BECAUSE OF THEM, WHAT IS TO HAPPEN IN THEIR AREA WAS AVERTED.

GOD DECIDED TO SPARE THEIR AREA BECAUSE THERE IS STILL SOMEONE WHO HAS THE GOODNESS TO WELCOME US.

AT THAT MOMENT, THE SKY LIGHTED AGAIN, AND THE SUN GAVE ITS USUAL GLARE AND HEAT.

OUR BRETHREN STAYED IN THE AREA.

WE UNLOADED OUR REMAINING PROVISIONS IN THE AREA.

DISTRIBUTED THE FOOD ITEMS AND MONEY TO THE CHILDREN AROUND THE AREA AS OUR OFFERINGS TO BANAHAW.

WE ALSO DISTRIBUTED HELP TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT, AS IT IS AVAILABLE.

WE SHARED WHAT WE HAVE TO THEM.

BLESSED THE FAMILY AND PLACE WHICH WELCOMED US.

THEY HAVE PREPARED WATER FOR OUR BRETHREN.

THEY EVEN HAVE ARRANGED OUR SLEEPING AREA.

THEY HAVE WELCOMED US IN THEIR HOME, AND MADE SACRIFICES ON OUR BEHALF, SO THAT WE WILL BE COMFORTABLE IN OUR STAY.

I WAS TOLD BY OUR GOD IN OUR PRAYERS THAT WE DO NOT NEED TO NOTE THE HELP WE HAVE GIVEN IN THIS AREA.
