My First Time at St. Jude Parish (Mendiola Manila)

Hi

Updating the blog. Today I went to church with my fellow barrista, Nico. We visited St. Jude Thaddeus Parish in Mendiola Manila.

As we all know, Jude is the Patron Saint of Hope and impossible causes and one of Jesus' original twelve Apostles. Aside from being the patron saint of lost causes, St. Jude is a symbol of choosing faith when all seems lost. He is a testament to standing firm in religious truth in the face of an ever uncertain and challenging world.

 

When I first took the Bar Exams 12 years ago, my mother gave me this prayer book of St. Jude. I am not a devotee, not even that religious way back then. But I did pray, but not wholeheartedly. I still have that prayer book until now, and to be honest, I have been praying for weeks now, even on my 2nd term of novena. Praying so hard that this time around God grant me my prayers with the aid of St. Jude. 

With Nico and Christian.

After hearing mass, we waited a few minutes to be blessed with holy water. Noticed that a lot of exam takers are there waiting for the blessing of holy water on their exam stuffs.

We're planning of going here to hear masses in the coming Sundays until the Bar Exam Days..

May God grant our prayers of passing the upcoming Bar Exams.

Will Try the 3rd Time Around for the ATTY.!

After the result of the BBE came out and haven't seen my name on the list of the passers, I cried a little while at work..

Talked to my loved ones, and decided to try again on the next examination schedule.

Time, effort and money.. I don't have that much. But I am having my faith. No more available leave credits for me, all means are exhausted already and having no extra income from the business. It's really tough.

 

But then, mind and body is determined to push through, so go on!

 

Found out early days of August that I already served the terms of the previous Study Leave contract, so I am still eligible to use the remaining 3months for my SL credits.

 

Submitted all the clearances, and already booked an apartment/condo unit where I am going to stay for 2-3 months. 

 

 

 

And today, I am on my way to Manila to start reviewing again for the upcoming Bar Exams. I'll be taking all the chances I have to get the dot I've been dreaming of since college days.

I am somewhat blessed to have a great support system. My parents and my partner goes hand in hand in helping me out emotionally and financially.

I will try to give all my best and take all the risk now. Giving all the faith and praying that God will grant me my heart's desire. 

Will update you every now and then about this journey.
