The Serenity Prayer Novels & Stories

Isang pari naman ang nasa harapan ng mga ito at hawak ang isang bible. Pagkatapos ng maikling sermon ay ang pagbitaw ng pangako sa isa't-isa. Red kneeled in front of Serenity. Hinawakan niya ang manipis na kamay nito at hinagod, pagkatapos ay tumingala siya rito at tinitigan ng mataman ito sa mukha. “Serenity, I promised you seventeen years ago that I would always love you, that no matter what happens I will always stick with you, even in times of trouble. Because loving you is a promise to myself and a choice I made.”

“Salamat. Ang makilala ka ang pinaka-maswerteng nangyari sa buhay ko.” Maswerte siya at nandiyan si Serene para tulungan siya. Kahit gaano pa kagaling si Aera, sa lugar tulad ng Baguio na mahalaga ang connection, mahihirapan pa rin itong umangat. At dahil sa paglayo at pagtaas ng pride nito nitong mga nakaraang araw, bakit pa niya ito kailangang habulin? Sa tingin niya, si Serene ang “swerte” na dumating sa buhay niya.

Napangisi siya dahil doon, magpapasalamat din naman siya kay Anton pero hindi ngayon. Muli siyang nag-inat ng kamay, pumikit, at humikab ngunit saktong pagmulat niya ng mga mata ay halos mapatalon siya matapos makitang mulat na mulat na ang mga mata ni Serenity. "My God! Serenity, Baby?"

Narinig kong umiiyak na rin si Milagring at Mariposa. "Calm down, Baby. We need to pray." Pray. Pray. Pray. I thought that's the last thing I won't be doing anymore but I was wrong. With my eyes full of tears and heart that's already broken ito pieces, I slowly lowered my body. Kneeling and asking for His mercy.

paalam ni Serenity. "Samahan kita?" alok ni Veruz. "No need...babalik din ako agad." Lumabas si Serenity dahil kailangan niyang tawagan ang kanyang Nanay na alam niyang naghihintay sa kanya.

Hindi naman talaga iyon bisyo ni Serenity ngunit ginagawa niya iyon sa mga panahong dinadalaw siya ng stress.

I roamed my sight and everyone looked like they were holding their laughter. “Lord Almighty, thank you for gathering everyone today. We come before you to praise your name, your holiness, your mercy and compassion. Thank you for the food and blessings you have showered us. May you bless these foods we’re about to eat. May it cleanse our intentions, our mind, heart, body and soul. May you bless those who prepared these foods and bless each one of us.” Anastasia prayed.

"I-I need to see her. I love her and our child so much. She's the reason I wake up with a smile on my face, and the thought of living without her is unbearable. Serene is my everything. Without her, my life would be meaningless, and I'd be lost. So please, tell me.. Nasaan si Serene?.." Napapailing itong napatingin sa akin,"I'm sorry Alas pero hindi ko talaga alam.."ani nito sabay talikod sa akin at pumasok sa loob ng bahay ni Serene.. Serene, baby.. I promise I'll fix everything.. SERENE SALUSTIA I woke up to a beautiful sunrise and for a full minute, I just stood there, staring at it as if burning it in my mind as warmth enveloped me.

Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; That each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, Not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; That no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

O Eternal God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind, giver of all spiritual grace, the author of everlasting life: send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy name; that, living faithfully together, they may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt them made, whereof this ring given and received is a token and pledge; and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according to thy laws; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Bakit hindi pinakinggan ang kanyang hiling. Napakuyom ng kamay si Stefan dahil sa pagkasiphayo ngunit muli siyang napatingin sa imahe na may labis na desperasyon. “I want to believe you. I will put my trust in You once more. Please don’t take my wife and child away from me. You’ve already taken everything I have, so please... I beg you, don’t take away my wife and my child; they are the only things I have. Please hear my prayer this time.”
