In the Adoration Chapel
A few hours ago
We all sat in quiet mein
Each one to his thoughts.
Every thought,
Every wish,
A prayer.
Every fervent wish
Coming from the heart
A powerful prayer
For prayers from the
Heart, more than
In the rational mind
Are what transcends
What is Divine
And what is human
And as I glanced
At the woman
Seated beside me
Whose name is GUIA
I saw the radiance
Of one who is
Serenely at
Peace
In the Presence
Of her CREATOR
With her eyes
Closed, I saw her
Communicating
With GOD ALMIGHTY
Not asking for more years
For her very
Frail health
Nor for her very
Fragile life
But asking for blessings
For all those she love
Her family, her friends
The barefoot street children
The sick, the needy
And all those who have less
In life
I could not resist
But to hold her hand
And as I did,
I felt how thin and bony she has
Become
The ravages of her surgery
And confinement for
Almost two years
All but made her a shadow
Of her previous self
So bouncy, running
The spiral stairs,
Of her house
In Alabang
She no longer has
The house in
Alabang
Neither has she the
Spiral staircase to run
About
But she now enjoys
The fresh air
And the ambiance of
Sta. Rosa
But she now walks
With a cane
And when outside of
The house
We have to let her
Hold on to an arm
But then we could feel, see
How jolted she would be
Of an impending encounter
With anyone
Lest she fall and never rise
Again
With her prayers done
We all stood up
To genuflect in front of
The BODY OF CHRIST
And ask for His blessings
Not only for us,
But for all of
Mankind
And as I stood to walk
Her out,
I couldn't resist
The surging emotions
Of how much I love
This little frail woman
Bundled in double jackets
Because of the evening chill
In order to meet
What is Divine
And as I reached for
Her
Tears welled and flowed
From my eyes
I kissed her forehead,
And asked,
Mommy, please stay with us
For we could not bear
Not having you
I hugged this woman
Whose name is GUiA
And in the presence of GOD,
Begged her
Begged GOD
For more years
Together.
For if she would go,
Then I would also go
My Darling Guia,
I love you so very much.
Please forgive me.
