the last Day of the nine consecutive days of Holy Masses
which were earlier than usual,
was well celebrated by a great crowd
of Catholic devotees
a lot of them had completed the nine days
at the Basilica Minore Del Santo Niño De Cebu.
was finally celebrated
and a lot of Catholic devotees
felt fulfilled after attending them all.
They were not the usual Holy Masses
since one had to wake up earlier.
But as people always say,
completing the whole nine days
equals rich blessings,
heard prayers, granted requests
or simply wishes coming true.
This has been the belief of most Filipinos ever since.
But more than those
is the sacrifice each devotee did
in anticipating the birth of Our Savior And Lord Jesus Christ
who is the Only Son of the Almighty Father.
And even if you didn't complete the whole nine days,
because you were too busy
or too tired to wake up earlier,
you can still be assured of rich blessings,
heard prayers, granted requests
and wishes coming true
when you do good to your fellowmen.
What benefit there is in completing the nine days
when you're still sinful or wicked?
