September 8 is the birthday of Mother Mary. It is a day of obligation for a Catholic to visit or go to church. Me and my friends went to church to hear the mass since it is a Sunday as well. Though, we have already attended mass yesterday as part of our weekly routine.
Here in Dubai, the regular rest day for employees are Friday and Saturday. Their usual start of the week is Sunday which felt kinda weird because I'm used to start my work week on a Monday back to my home country. That's another adjustment for me and for other workers i guess.
Going back to the main topic, it felt good to hear the sermon of the priest. According to him, Mary is such a great name. Its stands for
M - Mary
A - Always
R - Remembers
Y - You
She never will forget you as long as you have faith. I am a devotee of Mother Mary and it is for Our Mother of Perpetual Help to be exact. I used to went to Baclaran back in the Philippines and do the novena whenever I want something and whenever I want to praise and thanks her and Papa Jesus for all the blessings Ive been constantly receiving. That's why when I go here in Dubai, It feels good when I went to the St. Mary's church for the first time and saw the image of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. There 's an internal happiness and teary eyed moment for me coz I feel home and safe. I remember the priest said that, we should pray the rosary, read the Scripture / Holy Bible, Pray and fast.
