The Miraculous Virgin Mary and the palace like Church in Simala… what’s in it that makes people hunt for miracles?
The million stories and proofs displayed inside where overwhelming. The Church was so huge that somehow looks (for me) odd. I feel like being looked at by Zeus or the other Greek Gods. The huge structure makes me feel that something is isn’t right. I mean that’s how I felt. But despite that feeling, I went in to the church trying to find that peace, a minute or an hour of silence and call for forgiveness from within.
The church looks luxurious to me. The interior is really nice. It’s quiet and many other people going back and forth, some were trying to take pictures, others where whole heartedly praying and the rest were like tourists.
I light a candle for forgiveness, love and for my plans which hopefully is Gods plan too in my life. I prayed for that one person that I’m having a hard time forgiving. That person, I mean that act of that certain person that I’m having hard time to forget. That feeling of anger I have kept for 2 years now, and that feeling of love that stayed despite everything. (ayan.. emotional na te?)
How to Get There?
1. Go to the Cebu South Bus Terminal. Assuming you are from SM Cebu ride 1K and jump off E-MALL. Walk few meters to the right from E-MALL and you’ll see South Bus Terminal.
2. Look for the Bus going to Simala. Pay a 5.00 pesos terminal fee. And wait at the designated waiting area for the Bus passing Simala. – We took the Bus going to BATO.
3. In this trip we took an air conditioned bus going to Simala. And because I’m travelling with ladies who are both unsure where to stop, I keep telling the “Conductor” that we’ll be jumping off at Simala. hehehe And since it’s my first time to be there (after 6 years in Cebu.. lols) I was like asking “Are we there yet?” every time the bus comes to a halt. hahaha
