Feast of the Sto. Nino

Today we celebrate the feast of the Santo Nino.

Maybe we can try going through the day like a child - innocent, free of negativity. Childlike, not childish, we pursue our missions in this life.

The most famous celebrations are the ones done in Tondo, Manila and Cebu. The latter, being a week long  activity that culminates today.

Viva, El Señor Sto. Niño

Novena to our Mother of Perpetual Help (Baclaran Version, English)

I had an out of town trip recently with the family. But to my horror, I forgot to bring my Novena book. So here we post the Novena, ready to be prayed any day, any time.

This is as written in the P15 booklet sold outside the Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Though googling novenas to our Mother will show us a huge bunch, it just feels different when I pray the Baclaran version, to which we have grown much familiar with.
