“I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, they will be done

Sunbathing in my imagination. Temptation, get behind me! Please! Please, get behind me! Okay, wait. I closed my eyes again, whispering the familiar words, clinging to them like a lifeline. Making the sign of the cross, tracing the familiar pattern against my chest. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Tatanda kang tuyo kapag choosy ka. Kinabukasan, walang pasok si Mama, kaya pumunta kami ng Quiapo, nagsimba narin kami para bawas kasalanan, alam mo na, ang dami kong dapat ihingi ng tawad sa diyos, bukod sa kabaklaan ko, hindi pa ako nakakapagpasalamat sa blessing na ipinagkaloob niya sa akin kagabi. Opo, blessing po yung nangyari kagabi, opo. Wag kayong echusera, blessing yun. Diba? Sumagot kayo? Char!

As the darkness eats the light, the drum in my chest grows stronger. "PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostrils. Et ne nos induce in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen." I looked at old man Poso. I couldn't pay attention to what he was saying, but I also couldn't help but feel like the prayer was familiar to me. I don't know where I heard it but he is very familiar to me.

Those people in the cafe and the song they sing earlier, it's all familiar. All that I am with all creation Hanging on every word that You've spoken And it will not be shaken Clinging for life to all Your promise Hanging on every word that You say My lips turn to smile and find its way to say, "Thank You, Lord." Kinagabihan ay pinagdaop ko ang aking mga palad saka nagsimulang magdasal. Ilang buwan akong nag-isip-isip at namroblema pero ngayon ko lang naalalang magdasal.

Pero dahil wala naman ay ayos lang. Diego Lloyd Catamora: Pasali ako sa pagbibilang, okay lang, ma'am? Jillana Kaye Bardoquin: Okay lang. Punta ka rito sa Kasiya. Diego Lloyd Catamora: Ayyy, umuwi kayo diyan? Jillana Kaye Bardoquin: Kada Sabado at Linggo, umuuwi kami rito. Hahanapin kasi ako ni Mama. Diego Lloyd Catamora: Tama nga naman. Dapat umuwi kayo, at nang mapansin mo ang mga alikabok mo diyan, hahaha!

Laking pasasalamat niya sa Mamang Dalisay niya sa pagbibigay nito ng napakagandang regalo para sa kanyang kaarawan. “Limang bagay lang ang ibibilin ko sa iyo na dapat mong gawin anak. Una, seek first the kingdom of God. If you prioritize God’s desire for your life, He will take care of the desires of your heart.” Napangiti si Tala, mabuti na lang at regular siyang ayain ng mamang niyang magsimba. Sa ganitong paraan ay hindi siya nakakalimot magdasal at makinig ng mga aral ng Diyos.

Feedback quickly poured in. George texted, "Wow, Ms. Graham is working on the weekend. She's way more dedicated than us. Impressive!" Alan replied, "Now I feel bad for slacking off. I need to get to work too!" Clara chimed in, "Angela, can't we enjoy a bit of rest during the weekend? You're up so early and already working—such dedication!" The chat, which began professionally, soon turned into a lively thread of jokes and memes.

“Dito ka na titira simula ngayon. Bukas ng umaga ay ipapasyal kita sa likod-bahay.” Hindi nanaman ito nakikinig dahil abala nang nakikipagharutan kay Pearl doon sa mahabang sofa. Nag-utos na lamang ako sa isa naming kasambahay na ipaghanda kami ng meryenda. Inilabas ko rin ang cellphone ko at nagsimulang magbrowse sa isang kilalang online shopping app. Walang kagamit-gamit si Jimin kaya bibilhan ko ito. Sa ngayon ay manghihiram muna ako ng damit sa mga pinsan ko.

Lalo pa ngayon na ako ang nangunguna sa ranking namin sa first year. "Magpapagising ka ba sa amin?" Tanong nito. Madalas namin iyong gawin lalo na kapag mayroong ganap dito sa seminaryo. May pilgrimage kasi bukas. Dahil medyo may kalayuan ang lugar na gaganapan ng pilgrimage, kailangan naming gumising ng mas maaga pa sa nakaugalian naming oras ng paggising. "Bahala na... Matulog ka na, Lazarus." Sambit ko sa kaniya.
