Nung bata pa ko, kung gusto mo magka-instant moment kay crush, tabihan mo sa simba para holding hands sa 'Ama Namin' 😊

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Praise the faculty for coming up with First Friday Mass, lmao.
I remember reading somewhere that only the presiding priest is supposed to raise his hands during the lord's prayer, however, I never saw anything definitive about what the lay people are supposed to do with their hands. There were various practices that have taken hold across different catholic traditions: one of which is what we do here, nakiki-raise hands din tayo, lol!
Bishop Julito Cortes encouraged each churchgoer to instead “join his or her own hands… while the priest extends his hands in prayer”.
I am not sure if this is only for his diocese or if it's to be adopted for all the catholic churches here in the Philippines (as well as catholic churches serving the Philippine diaspora all over the world). This is probably one of the things the CBCP should be releasing a statement on, tbh.
I for one, if I ever attend a mass, would continue observing what everyone around me is doing and acting accordingly—as I've always done in that kind of a situation.
I need to be updated with these if ever I end up on a church again. Yung "and also with you" nga nagulat ako wala na, haha.
"and with your spirit" na ata. I rarely go to church so I get surprised if things change too.
Haha tagal na nun. Pero ganun din reaction ko after years of not attending church services, with matching lip sync since iba na tono nung mga kanta.
Napagkakahataan yung mga bihirang mag-simba, lol!
TBH, I still get tripped up with that. I still find myself murmuring "and also with you" when I should have been saying "and with your spirit." 😅
