An Answered Prayer

 

My very first time in Tierra de Maria

during school tour when I was in college

Immediately fronting the image of Mama Mary is a “wishing” deep well symbolic of the waters of the “Wedding at Cana” where our Lord was asked to change water into the finest wine even if it was not yet His time to perform miracles; a reminder to all who journey to Tierra de Maria that through the intercession of Mama Mary, Jesus will perform miracles at her behest.

At Tierra de Maria in Tagaytay City for the 2nd time
with my family

The first time I went to Tierra de Maria was when I was in college during our school tour. I have no idea about this place as it was not even in our itinerary. We just had maybe an extra time so that is why we stopped there. But when I saw this place, I really love the serenity of the chapel. So I made a wish on the wishing well that hope the next time I am back in this chapel I will be with my future boyfriend. The one I will love and would love me forever. Then, maybe after 2-3 years my family went to Tagaytay for a picnic lunch. On our way there, I told them I will show them the chapel that I love in Tagaytay but I just couldn't remember the exact location of it as I even forgot the name of the place. So I was really looking left and right of the window as I know it is just near going to the Palace in the Sky. Oh at last, I was really screaming when I saw it. :)) So we stopped there and they love it also. Then, I made a wish again. Same wish. 

Inside Tierra de Maria -2nd time

After 5 years of waiting, finally, I have a boyfriend that I could proudly introduced to Mama Mary. It's my boyfriend Anthony. I waited for that moment. For me, going there with him was really so very special. I know I made a wish there many years ago and it's granted now. But it was Ant who actually became teary-eyed when he saw the chapel. I just couldn't explain but I could really feel how he so much like the place as he held my hand so tight and gave me a quick embrace. This is it! An answered prayer and I feel so much love with my beloved next to me. 

At last! My beloved next to me.

I found the love of my life. I have shared my most happy and sacred memories and moments with him. I would not trade those times for anything in the world. I found the person who saved me, who made me laugh, who with one smile or wink made me melt, when he held me I felt like there was no one in the world but us two, I fell in love with him more and more each and every single day to the point where sometimes I thought my heart would explode.

Mama Mary please keep me in his heart while he goes on his everyday life. I love him dearly and want to spend the rest of my life with him. Please give us both strength and courage to face this difficult time ahead so that we may both come out stronger and our relationship is still intact. Please teach us and guide us in the direction that we may go.

Mama Mary has always interceded on our behalf in our prayers to Jesus Christ.
May She continue to pray for us always.

Thank you Mama Mary for this blessing! I made another wish the last time I was there with Ant... I know you have listened to it. Don't worry I will stay strong and be patient. I love you! Please guide me through every stage of our relationship, so that, as we move ever closer to You, we grow closer to each other in Love, in Joy and in Faith. Thank you for hearing my prayer. In Jesus name, Amen!
