today, I was able to go to mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. we celebrated the High Mass. now I know what a High Mass is -- complete with Catholic rituals, boys choir, a lot of altar boys and a bishop officiating it. I was able to get a blessing from him though at first I hesitated because I was shy at small talk. but what the heck... I want some blessing from above! a little bit of help to get me to heaven?!

inside the church. this old man reminds me of my dad. wish he was here. :(
didn't have the guts to get a blessing so i decided to take a picture with him.
observing the bishop and the parishioners lining up for his blessings.
nainggit ako so i decided to lineup. mustered the courage just to get a blessing.
finally! i was not nervous. yey!
had a bit of smalltalk telling him i was just visiting melbourne and that i come from the philippines.
giving me the blessing
last time i did this was when i was still in my early gradeschool years. i had to chase fr. rodriguez just to do this with him.
lit 2 candles and said a short prayer for mom & dad on all saint's day

You had an aura of a little girl in those photos with the bishop.
