Baptism & Other Churches....
My having been to Other Churches as I entered college in the University of the Philippines was like the 1st Luminous Mystery - The Baptism of Jesus. John the Baptist welcomed Jesus Christ & the latter received the Holy Spirit. College life welcomed me & I received God's other churches.
During my 1st Year College in the UP Visayas-Miagao, I was able to attend holy masses in the prestigious Miagao Church (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). But after my 1st year in college, I stopped schooling due to financial constraints. Yet, that adversity didn't stop my churchgoing.
In my one year of LOA (Leave of Absence), I was still able to go to other churches - Malate Church, Baclaran Church, Quiapo Church & 5 Wounds Church. It was in those churches where I continued to pray for my return to schooling. And because I continued to welcome & receive God in my life, I was able to go back to school once again.
