Today is a very special day in my Faith journey. I have been temporarily professed as a Lay Dominican during the Eucharistic celebration earlier presided by Rev. Fr. Roland Mactal, O.P., the spiritual director of the Our Lady of La Naval Lay Dominican Fraternity.
As there are no coincidences in the designs of Providence, I was overwhelmed by an unspeakable joy that of all days, our simple yet solemn vestition ceremony fell on the Solemnity of the Pentecost.
Fr. Roland only uttered one word to me after the Mass: "Persevere." And so I call upon the Holy Spirit, to aid and strengthen me.
Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
