last day namin sa zaragoza. at ganun pa rin yung pagkain. lolz! pero ok lang. pinag-hihirapan nila yung binibigay nila sa amin so i should still be thankful. nakaligo ako ng maaga at nag-balot ng gamit ko ng maaga.
it was am awesome day sana kaso lang umulan. i had some bonding time with dante as well. kwentu-kwentuhan hanggang sa we have to ride the bus na. we're on our way to avila.
we arrived avila as expected. i am with josephina, dante, dindo and father paulino sa table. i realized na i was really having a good time with them talaga. si jean from bicol ay nahihilo daw. i told her na baka may bonamine ako sa bag. nung nalaman kong wala at dolfenal lang, i still offered it to her. she turned it down.
kung nagandahan ako sa zaragoza, avila is different - it's jaw droppingly great. the theme is historic. paulino shared a little history of the walled city. if we have intramuros, spain has avila. this walled city came into place in defense of the Moors. the walls are towering but a lot thinner than what we have in intramuros.
pictures, pictures and pictures. i had a lot of pictures. we went to San Jose Monastery. this was by st. therese of avila. napaka-inspiring nung kanyang story. its reformation to what she believes in. she never hesitated to condole the practice. dati daw kasi kapag mayaman yung mag-mamadre ay she'll have a lot of different things for her. but with st. therese, di ito dapat. she reformed the system and she reformed the idea. galing di ba?
on our way out, we saw some people doing popular mission and they were from spain. galing! we did a popular mission with them. its goosebumps, once philippines and spain are enemies but now they are allies in spreading the words of god.
dito din sa avila ko na-practice ang unang una kong spanish statement - "donde es..." lol! so fun!
in the end (on our way to madrid), paulino gave a very heavigat na words. that we do not have to build a new one in reformation. we just have to reform what we have right now. as pilgrims and part of the neo catchumenal way, we are part of the newly evangelized people. it is our turn to be the reformers so we can reform the idea of what the church is....galing di ba?

one word - goosebumps - former enemies but now allies in spreading the words of God.
