Bless Us O Lord Novels & Stories

Alam niya na sa kabila ng kaniyang inis at galit, wala naman talagang kasalanan ang mga taong nakatingin sa kanila. Itinutok na lamang ng dalaga ang kaniyang tingin sa bintana ng eroplano. Tahimik na ang paligid noong sandaling iyon habang ang natatanaw niya mula sa labas ay kadiliman at para bang kasingsikip ng dibdib niya ang kalangitan noong gabing iyon. Makalipas ang ilang oras… "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now preparing for takeoff. Please fasten your seatbelts and make sure your seats are in their upright position. Thank you."

Umupo na lang silang nangingimi sa harap ng lamesa. "Ayan. Okay na. Let's pray muna. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Ama namin sa langit, nagpapasalamat po kaming narito ngayon sa hapag-kainan para sa biyayang ipinagkaloob niyo sa amin. Nawa'y magamit namin ang lakas na makukuha namin sa mga pagkaing ito upang maipalaganap namin ang inyong mabuting balita at pag-ibig sa aming kapwa. Patuloy niyo po sana kaming gabayan sa bawat naming gawain. Amen. Attack na!" At agad na sinunggaban ni Father Mer ang nakahain. Ang laki ng ngiti niya sa mukha habang naglalagay ng kanin sa kanyang plato. Nakalimutan pa nga nitong mag-sign of the cross. Samantala, parang tuod na nakamasid

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.”

we responded while holding each other's hands. Nanatiling tahimik ako that time na medyo pre-oocupied sa oras na iyon. Nasa isipan ko pa rin kasi ang sinabi ni Lawrence over the phone. "God forgives us for all the things we do bad, so together we pray; I confess to Almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts and in my words in what I have done and what I have failed to do, and I ask the Blessed Mary, ever virgin, and all the angels and saints and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord, our God." Dinig namin mula sa pari.

Nanginginig na itinaas ni Andy ang mga palad at pinaglapat ito. "H-hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus." panimula niya. Ilang segundo na walang kumibo bago niya narinig na may sumagot. 'Luh? Mali ba yung sinabi ko?' kinakabahang tanong ni Andy sa isipan. "Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners. Now and at the hour of our death, Amen."

"Let us begin this celebration with a prayer. Let us all stand and bow down our heads and put ourselves in the loving presence of God.

“By God's gift, through water and Holy Spirit, we are reborn to everlasting life. In his goodness, may He make them always, wherever they may be, faithful members of his holy people. May He send his peace upon all who gathers here, in Christ Jesus our Lord.” “Amen.” “May almighty God the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, bless you.

Bless us, Holy Father, and assist us all to honor and glorify You through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” “Amen,” pag-uulit ng lahat. “Enjoy the foods, everyone!”

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.
