Stations of the Cross

Last Wednesday (March 14), I visited and attended the 12:00 am mass at the National Shrine of Saint Padre Pio at Sto. Thomas, Batangas. After the solemn mass the priest announced that a newly built stations of the cross was already opened at the back of the church for the churchgoers to see and visit it. This is timely for all the devotees as the celebration of Holy Week is nearly approaching and they can visit and offer prayers for each stations.  I was very lucky to take pictures of the stations of the cross without too much people around.

Feast Day of Saint Padre Pio

September 23 is the feast day of Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. He is one of the most famous saints in our times especially in the Philippines. He received the gift of stigmata and has done many miracles and healings during his lifetime. Today, hundreds of devotees, including me, flock to the National Shrine of Saint Padre Pio at Sto. Thomas, Batangas to hear mass in honor of him.
