A lot of people told me about the Miracles happened in the Monastery of the Marian Monks of the Eucharistic Adoration located in Simala, Sibonga. So, I went to the Monastery to reflect and to find myself.

But to be honest, I never really did some reflection when I reach the area. How could someone meditate on a such crowded area?

Please forgive me if this is my first impression about Simala. It's probably because my expectations was; a place that is reserved for prayer or something like a prayer hall. Well, I did found a medium size building that looks like a prayer hall but nobody seems to went on that area.

What I immediately noticed was a very long line of people from the entrance gate up to the Church.

Curious enough, I also fall in-line for almost an hour under the heat of the sun and end up very exhausted when I reach the Holy Sculpture of Mother Mary. At that moment, I then realized that this is all about sacrificing oneself to our Mother Mary. Believe it or not, the minute I prayed in front of HER - I feel very lighten and alleviated.

Heading back outside the church, I passed & read a lot of testimonies to all the people who were healed (including cancer), passed the Board exams, Bar exams, etc. and in conceiving a baby. I can never forget the testimony of the couples who have been married for 15 yrs and was able to conceive after their Pilgrims in Simala. GOD really works in wonder - So don't ever lose hope. And looking around and took some pictures of the sanctified area, was very nice.
