Finally, Br. Ziggy is back so I could get to some more photographs! I'm including photographs from Divine Mercy weekend. We had fantastic weather, and thousands of people came. Many priests came to help with the confessions, which went through the night. Father Jan did a marathon from Saturday 8 a.m. till Sunday 4 a.m. with very few breaks! The first Vigil Mass was at 5 p.m. on Saturday. Many pilgrims came and stayed. We had an all-night vigil of prayer and then a procession with the Divine Mercy Image at 3 a.m., which started outside the shrine. The first dawn Mass was at 4:30 a.m., then Masses followed at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
It is estimated that we had about 25,000 or more pilgrims visiting the shrine throughout the day. The dawn Mass was celebrated by Fr. Jose Cabantan who was new bishop elect. After the Mass we invited the bishop and other priests and nuns to us for breakfast. Father Wal and Fr. Jan are comfortably sitting on vice-rector's knee, Fr. Medz's. It is one big happy family here at DMH!
God bless,
