Strength from God!

Sister Naty, an old but still very active woman from Brgy. Anonang, had a happy look on her face. I saw her approaching. Her strides suddenly became livelier.

"Father, she is now eating! Father, she is getting stronger!"

"Who is...?

"Idiay na-sick call yo ngay, Father!" Her voice filled with excitement about her report to me: the old woman I gave the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick was getting stronger!

"When she woke up after you gave the sacrament, she was looking for you, Father! Then she ate!"

O, the joys of the priesthood!
