August 21, 2008

May nakapagsabi sa akin noon na kapag bibisita sa unang pagkakataon sa isang simbahan, humiling daw ng tatlong mithi. Hindi ko alam kung gaano kalaganap ang paniniwalang ito sa Pilipinas. Ngunit totoo man ito o hindi, nakagawian ko na rin na sa tuwing makakabisita sa isang simbahan sa unang pagkakataon, humihiling ako ng tatlong espesyal na mithi. ;)

Kaya naman laking tuwa ko noong mabiyayaan kami ng Diyos ng pagkakataong makapaglibot muli sa Europa noong 2006. Nakasama namin ng aking ina, ang aking asawa’t anak sa unang pagkakataon. Nagawa naming bumisita sa simbahan sa bawa’t bansang napuntahan namin. Parang Bisita Iglesia pero cross country! Ito ang aming mga napuntahan:

(Someone told me a long time ago that everytime I would step into a church for the first time, I should make three wishes and they will be granted.  I don’t know how widespread this belief is in the Philippines, but whether it’s true or not, I never leave a church I’m visiting for the first time without making my 3 wishes. ;)

I was overjoyed when, in February 2006, Hubby and Abby joined my Mom and me in Europe for the first time.  We were blessed to have been able to visit 4 countries, and some very beautiful churches.  Here they are: )


St. Peter’s Cathedral – Trier, Germany


St. Etienne Cathedral – Metz, France


St. Etienne Cathedral – Metz, France (ulit!)


Notre Dame Cathedral a.k.a. Cathedral of Our Lady of Luxembourg – Luxembourg, Luxembourg


St. Jan Church (church on the left with red tower) and Basilica of St. Servatius (center building)


St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral/The Emperor’s Cathedral (Der Kaiserdom) – Frankfurt, Germany


Ang aking asawa at ang 18 buwang gulang na si Abby, nagtitirik ng kandila.
(Hubby and 18-month old Abby lighting candles in a church.)

Nakakatuwang isipin na bago pa man natin maiparating sa Diyos ang ating mga minimithi ay alam na niya kung ano ang mga ito.  At kahit maaari tayong magdasal kahit saan at kahit ano mang oras, iba pa rin ang pagdarasal sa loog ng simbahan.  Mas ramdam, hindi ba? :)   Dalangin kong ibigay na ng Diyos ang tinuturing kong mga pinakamahalaga kong mga mithiin.  Hangad kong pati ang iyong pinakamimithi ay ibigay Niya na rin. :)

(It’s comforting to know that even before we tell God our wishes, He already knows what they are.  And even if we can pray anytime, anywhere, praying inside a church fills me with a different sense of comfort.  I pray that God grant all my urgent wishes already…and yours too. :) )

May isa pa akong lahok sa LP DITO. Maligayang Huwebes!
