Day 5 at PACO

With no Church left in my list, I decided to hear mass for Day 5 at the San Fenando Dilao Parish in Paco, Manila.

It was a newly painted church. They have those Latin phrases encrypted on its walls and ceilings which makes it hard for like ordinary layman to understand. I think one thing why its hard for parishioners to understand the teachings of God and why it is hard for priests to evangelize is because most teachings are really hard to understand by the ordinary people. How will someone try to reflect on those teachings if they could not understand what it means? What will a mother tells her child if asked what does those things in the ceiling says?

I hope that with the new order of Pope Bendeict that Catholics evangelize Catholics, maybe the Church reaches out to its people on how they could clearly understand the teachings in their own tongue.
