I always wanted to write about this a long time ago. I just didn't have the right chance for it. This morning as I was hearing mass, I couldn't help but notice everything that is happening around me. It reminded me of this long overdue blog.
Only in the Philippines can you see church goers, attending mass JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT! Many, if not all are physically present inside the church but emotionally, spiritually are not. I never saw such blasphemous acts before, only Filipinos are capable of doing.
Only in the Philippines can you see old women PRAYING THE ROSARY DURING the Mass! Isn't it that the Holy Mass is the highest form of worship? Why the need to recite the rosary during the Mass???
Only in the Philippines can you see some people EATING POPCORN WITH THEIR FEETS RAISED ON THE PEWS while the priest is giving a sermon! As if they are watching a movie!
Only in the Philippines can you see some people SENDING OR READING TEXT MESSAGES while the mass is going on! Are their messages really that important???
Only in the Philippines can you hear LOUD RINGTONES AND MESSAGE ALERT TONES coming from mobile phones while inside the church!
Only in the Philippines can you see some church goers GOSSIPING, HECKLING, LAUGHING while inside the church not mindful of the others who are praying pervently!
Only in the Philippines can you see some youths ATTENDING MASS IN THEIR "PUNK" (complete with dangling chains and spiked hairstyles!) or "HIP-HOP" ATTIRES only to scout for girls! They feel they are good looking in those stupid get ups! As if they look like Dingdong Dantes or Aga Mulach when they see girls.
Only in the Philippines can you see women attending mass with their BOSSOMS READY TO POP OUT ANYTIME! THEIR SKIRTS SO SHORT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT COLOR OF PANTIES THEY ARE WEARING!
Only in the Philippines can you see many churchgoers STANDING NEAR THE CHURCH'S EXIT even if there are many vacant seats! Are the exits really the best place inside the church???
Only in the Philippines can you see CHILDREN RUNNING, PLAYING SHOUTING while inside the church, their PARENTS NOT MINDING THEM AT ALL! Is the church becoming a playground now???
Only in the Philippines can you see PUSHING AND SHOVING DURING COMMUNION! As if there is a mad dash to the finish line.
Only in the Philippines can you see PEOPLE LEAVING THE CHURCH just as the communion is starting! Only a few are left to sing the closing hymn.
Only in the Philippines can you see some after receiving the Holy Communion, PLACE THE HOLY EUCHARIST INSIDE THEIR WALLETS! They will use it as "lucky charm" for their favorite past time, cockfighting! (THIS IS THE WORST!!!! Beat that Satan!!!!)
These are but some of the proofs that indeed, the devil can come inside the House of God and to think these are things I see in our church alone. I wonder if there are also many demons in other churches???
Wake up Juan dela Cruz! YOur assess are already burning in hell!
