Lord, salamat sa pagkain na ibinigay niyo sa amin ngayon. Please help us always to remember the needs of others who don't have as much as us. Patawarin mo po kami ng Panginoon sa lahat ng aming mga kasalanan. Kami ay nagdarasal at nagpapasalamat sa pamamagitan ni Jesus cristo na aming Panginoon. Amen.” I opened my eyes. I was overwhelmed with this emotion that I can't put into words. Nakakahawa ang mga ngiti ng mga bata.

I close my eyes and pray. I close my eyes and I can see a better day. I close my eyes and.... 🎼I pray for the broken-hearted. I pray for the life not started. I pray for all the lungs not breathing. I pray for all the souls that need a break. Can you give 'em one today?

Kukuha na sana siya ng pagkain nang bigla ko siyang pinigilan. "Let's pray first." Nabigla man siya sa sinabi ko ay sumunod naman ito. "Ama, basbasan mo po ang mga biyayang ipinagkaloob mo sa amin upang aming pagsalu-saluhan. Ibinabalik po namin sa iyong harapan ang lahat ng kapurihan at nawa’y maging karapat-dapat kami sa lahat ng biyayang patuloy ninyong ipinagkakaloob sa aming pamilya at sambahayan. Maraming salamat po, Panginoon sa aming masaganang pamumuhay. Ang iyong kabutihan at kaluwalhatian ay hindi magkukulang kailanpaman. Amen." At nagsign of the cross kami pareho.

Napansin ko sa tatlo si Aisla ang pinaka energetic ngayon at sobrang saya. I pinched her nose softly. "Okay, lead the prayer anak." ngumiti 'to sa 'kin at tumango-tango. Pinikit nito ang mga mata. "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen," "Thank you Papa God for letting me experience having breakfast with a complete family that I've been wishing for. Lord God, Heavenly Father, bless us and these Thy/Your gifts which we receive from Thy bountiful goodness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." nakangiting sabi ni Aisla.

Noong nakatayo na kami, sumenyas sa akin si daddy na ako ang mag-lead ng prayer. I took a deep breath and nodded, realizing that this was something I could do. As we gathered in the living room, I closed my eyes and began to speak, my voice trembling. "Lord our God, You are great and almighty. We come to You with humble hearts, pleading for Your mercy. Please keep Poppy safe from all harm and bring her back to us safely. We're lost without her. She's the light of my life, and I can't imagine a world without her. Give her strength, wherever she is. And give us the strength to keep hoping, to keep believing that she'll come back to us.”

She pulled out the sofa bed and sat down first to deliver a short prayer before bedtime. “Eternal Father, at the end of this day I thank you most heartily for all the graces I have received from you. I am sorry that I have not made a better use of them. I am sorry for all the sins I have committed against you. Forgive me, O my God, and graciously protect me and most especially my children this night. Blessed Virgin Mary, my dear heavenly mother, take me under your protection. St. Joseph, my dear guardian angel, and all you Saints of God, pray for us. Sweet Jesus, have pity on all poor sinners, and save them from hell. Have mercy on the suffering souls in purgatory. Amen.”

Mula roon ay inilabas niya ang kanyang rosaryo. Tama, sa oras ng kagipitan ay tanging ang Diyos lamang ang kanyang makakapitan. “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen." “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.”

Nang malapit na siya sa harapan mas lalo pa siyang naiyak ng sobra. Hinawakan ko ang kan'yang kamay at dinala sa harap ng altar. "Good Morning everyone;" malugod na pagbati ng priest sa amin at sa lahat ng nasa loob ng simbahan.. "In the name of the father, and of the son and of the holy spirit." "Amen; "assembly responce.
