First morning at Catalonia Resort in Dominican Republic, having breakfast and preparing for a full day of worship for the feast of the Virgin Mary- main reason for this trip. For me this is a celebration of life, love, happiness, faith, friends, family and unity. I look forward to this feast for the sake of praying and witnessing results.
I've been committed to this trip for four years now... Every time is a new found experience. As the days approach, your faith is tested in many different ways, it is up to you to realize and not entertain any distractions or chaos. Your focus is to love, give and serve without expectation. Pray for others as well as yourself. Abide in obedience with love and God will take care of you.
The beauty of it all is that you never know what to expect. It is all in the unknown.
You simply have to trust and be open to receive.
The shrine of the Virgin Mary, Ave Maria has been around for ancient years. People from all over the world go the Virgin Mary for manifestation of miracles- I am very blessed to know that miracles do exist based on my personal experience.
Visiting and giving to Haitian families in the Batey of San Pedro De Macoris-This mission has been in effect for years. I've been giving to many different Bateys for over ten years now, mom and I have participated in many projects including home building assistance plus more. This is my third time specifically visiting and giving to San Pedro De Macoris. We bring all kinds of utility items for them, such soap, toothpaste, deodorant, clothes, shoes, and money. This is a group trip organized by Gina Faustin, Owner of Kompa Guide.
After visiting San Pedro De Macoris, we were honored this year to catch the procession of the Virgin Mary take the streets of Higuey, Dominican Republic. This was my first time experiencing this procession. It was a moving and extremely powerful experience. I had goose bumps the closer the Virgin Mary reached me. Some cried and some focused more and more on prayer. It was the highlight of this year's trip for me. I was so thankful and grateful to be there this year.
The presence of the Virgin Mary is real and quite powerful. This was indeed an emotional time for me; I was so touched and moved the closer she got to me.
