I really don't know in what category my story belongs to except that it's an experience with the unusual. I am not a church goer and as a catholic, the only prayer I knew then was the Our Father and Hail Mary. But for some unknown reason, my religious sponsor Mom had requested me to form a women's religious club in our city. At first, I was hesitant but knowing that our city's Sino-Fil community didn't have any religious club formed that lasted, I told myself at least I can contribute something to our community. Thus I agreed.

That particular of Dec. 12, 1992 after we had our first X'mas Party, I went home tired. But before retiring, I went in to check on the kids. When I was going to my room, I noticed that the rosary I hang around my Holy Family statue was swaying like a pendulum. The statue was inside an airtight cabinet placed against the wall beside our master bedroom. So I went towards the statue and as I approached it, I fet an extreme sense of happiness that's total energy. It lasted for about 3-4 seconds. Had it lasted longer, I felt I would had 'burst'. I got scared a bit and quickly went into my room, tried to wake my husband but who only snorted. Thinking about it for a few minutes more, I decided to verify if it was still swaying. It was but it was much slower now. I had quickly put it out of mind, wanting to find a rational explanation to it. No wind, no earthquake, what then?

A few months passed. This time, I had the statue transferred to its own showcase and placed it beside my bed. Then, it happened again. This time, after I led my club in a seminar for evangelization purposes. The activity took us two nights and we stayed at the Jesuit run retreat house. When I finally got home to sleep in my own bed, I was so tired that I forgot to pray my rosary. I woke up around 5AM the following day and after coming out of the bathroom, I decided I'd pray the rosary. I closed my eyes. When I opened it, there before me, the rosary once again swayed and same sensation came over me. This time I was no longer scared and continued praying. At the end of my prayer, the rosary just stopped swaying by itself.

The last experience I had was this beautiful light that flooded my room at 4:30PM. All my windows were closed because I was going out. But before doing so, I sat down to catch up on the CNN newscast. Then a sun's ray was reflected thru the slot of my closed blinds and the rays hit the heart of Jesus in his Divine Mercy picture pasted behind my door. The light was so beautiful that I kind of got mesmerized watching it as it went on and off 3 times. On the third time, a Message was flashed across my mind. It said: "Do not be beholden to anything or anyone (4 persons connected with my religious activities came to mind was also kind of identified); Only to ME, for I AM THE TRUTH." And I knelt down and tears came streaming down my face. Exactly what that TRUTH is, I am not sure but my guess is that it's LOVE, MERCY.

Many things had occurred in my life before and after these and looking back, I think I am lucky to be a witness to what's beyond the sight, the hearing. After successfully organizing our club, and not wanting to be involved in all the what nots characteristic of organizations in this culture I live in, I retired from active participation. But I remained very close to all those who were very supportive of me specially the 3 persons flashed in my mind that day. They are all good priests and two were my college teachers.

Anyhow, having witnessed the unusuals, I have confirmed what my heart have always felt that it's not religion that connects us to the High Ups. It's what inside you that makes the connection. My priest friends who are all foreigner seem to understand this. Two have passed away since and one came back to see how I was doing 4 times before he finally exited. I do feel he's just around me at times but well, I won't insist on it as I do understand what it takes to be on this earthplane too. What's beyond the senses is called nonsense. Yes, when you are touched by a Higher Power, you grow stronger in your purposed which is, simply put: To truly love and be merciful, emanating from inside the heart, and not from hand me down religious beliefs.
