A recessional hymn during a mass celebrated in the Philippines:
Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang
Walang sinuman and namamatay para sa sarili lamang
Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isa't isa
Tayong lahat ay tinipon ng Diyos na kapiling nya
Translation (thanks Google Translate!):
No one lives for himself alone
No one is dying for himself
We are all responsible for one another
We are all gathered by God in his company
I usually start my Sundays by going to mass at St. Mary of the Angels. But as with the lockdown, I can't attend mass. I started a new Sunday routine: I celebrate with Martha, my sister, as we listen to a live mass broadcast from a church in the Philippines. I can watch a live stream by myself, but it feels a lot more whole knowing that someone else is celebrating with me. I pray for courage and protection for the frontliners, wisdom for our leaders, and health and safety for family and friends.
