Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ!
“Honor the will of God!” says VP Sara Duterte Carpio. This was the message I quoted from the Inaugural Ceremony in Davao. Archbishop Romulo Valles reiterated that VP SARA's service is also a gift to the people. He recounted numerous times in personal encounters with Mayor Sara in her vintage way of growing in her own spiritual life. In Zamboanga, she also requested for a mass where Fr. Karel San Juan presided in Ateneo.
Such were the events that led me and Micheal Saavedra to read the First and Second Reading. As we awaited our turn to march a most gracious Deacon-to-be led us to a side chapel. To me that was a most memorable and special Corpus Christi celebration to be praying with the hosts ready to be shared like the multiplication of bread as Jesus wanted.
That special moment was very extraordinary for me to give reverence to God who made all things possible. As a chapter of my life closes here in Zamboanga, we were witnessing a new chapter from the Ateneo Student Government days, Mike, Dynah, Kenneth and I celebrated the Eucharist with the people of Davao and their beloved Mayor. The rest of the events was enchantingly God’s providence to have the best seat and view in a historic day also the birth of Dr. Jose Rizal.
With all the excitement of the day our hearts are filled to the brim for such a rare opportunity. In her most gracious way VP Sara sent her thanks for our visit. We are thankful to a servant of God who honors the will of God. We journey and support our leaders as Mike responded. (MBC)
