This entry was supposed to be posted two months ago. I've been busy with work and personal stuff so I wasn't able to update. I have a whole lot more to tell about the summer that was and I'm really hoping that I would be able to blog them all. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nOur first family adventure for the summer was a Visita Iglesia of Laguna churches. I've been to \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mytravelogue.net\/2010\/07\/on-roadtrip.html\"\u003EIlocos\u003C\/a\u003E, Batangas, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mytravelogue.net\/2010\/07\/cebu-once-again.html\"\u003ECebu\u003C\/a\u003E and other old Spanish towns and provinces but nothing beats Laguna when it comes to its abundance of historical churches. I've always been fascinated by churches so this trip is both cultural and religious. The goal of the travel was to visit 7 churches which includes a trip to the popular \u003Cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003EKamay Ni Hesus\u003C\/span\u003E religious grounds in Lucban, Quezon. We had two Stations of the Cross for each visit to complete the 14 stations.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003EOUR LADY OF THE HOLY ROSARY CHURCH\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nOur first stop was the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/foursquare.com\/venue\/1958833\"\u003EOur Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish\u003C\/a\u003E at Luisiana, Laguna. It's a very simple church but is very popular among Visita Iglesia goers. It's also said that it's the oldest parish honoring Nuestra Senora del Rosario in the Philippines.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/4693039481\/\" title=\"Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church - Luisiana, Laguna by AbbieReal, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church - Luisiana, Laguna\" height=\"333\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4026\/4693039481_d5ca304d56.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/4693660252\/\" title=\"Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church Altar by AbbieReal, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church Altar\" height=\"324\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4024\/4693660252_9e84c37ce8.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe church is not as old as the other churches we've been on the trip but it's equally gorgeous. There's also a quaint garden at the side of the church that is worth visiting and is good for photo ops. The weather in Luisiana is also nice and cool (because of its high elevation) so we stayed there quite a bit while catching up with our Priest-friend, Fr. Egay, who's now the Parish Head of Luisiana.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFrom Luisiana, we traversed south through the picturesque Sierra Madre mountains to reach Lucban, Quezon, home of the popular \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.pahiyasfestival.com\/\"\u003EPahiyas Festival\u003C\/a\u003E honoring San Isidro Labrador. We went to Lucban to visit \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/foursquare.com\/venue\/1799205\"\u003EKamay Ni Hesus\u003C\/a\u003E, a religious site popular for its healing church and the 50-feet image of Jesus Christ. This was also our 2nd church in our Visita Iglesia journey.

I've been to Buddy's so many times in their Kalayaan, Makati branch for team lunches and treats, but it's my family's first time to eat there. Buddy's offers authentic (not to mention cholesterol-heavy) Lucban specialties. My brother and dad loved the food and my mom loved that it's inexpensive.

The famous image of San Isidro Labrador - where Lucban is famous for - is enshrined here. This church has probably one of the most gorgeous baroque architectures I've ever seen. The only letdown is the interiors which was already renovated to modern structures.

Through the guiding principle of St. Francis, she entered the convent and turned her back to all her family's material wealth to live a life of holiness. She devoted her life to solitude and love for the poor. Through her kindness and miraculous ways, she was canonized immediately after her death.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPeople in my town are so blessed since two of the Franciscan missions are in Cabuyao since 1975.

I recall so many Holy Weeks and Feast Days where we visit the nuns and participate in novenas and masses. Since I am also asking for something big these days, I am happy and proud  to say that I just ended my 9-day novena (in preparation for her feast day) yesterday. I am sharing with everyone this wonderful prayer that you can use as novena or as a daily devotional prayer. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\"\u003E~*oOo*~\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EPRAYER TO ST.
