Immaculate Concepcion

Today, is a special day because it is the Feast of
the Immaculate Concepcion.

This is feast is about Mary, the Blessed Mother, who
is loved by many Catholic Christians as the mother of
Jesus. She is proclaimed as Immaculately conceived.
Meaning she was conceived "sinless" in the womb of
St. Anne.

Today, I prayed for the peace process in Mindanao.

I remember when a friend and her friends had to help
out in Mindanao, and I told her how will you be able to
protect yourself from two opposing forces and sometimes
several opposing families warring in Mindanao.

My Catholic friend doctor said, don't worry, I have troops
and three battalions to protect us. We need to bring
medicines to the women, children and the old people there, and
we will do the service swift and fast to avoid the Abu Sayaff.

I remembered praying to our Lady desperately for their protection.

They arrived... saving a life of a Muslim woman who was giving
birth and there was no hospital within the vicinity
