00:00Despite the bad weather, many of our countrymen chose to attend the mass in Baclaran Church to celebrate Christmas.
00:08This is what Del Custodio reported.
00:12Relatives, friends, or even single people, came to Baclaran Church to worship this Christmas.
00:19Like Sister Cindy and Heidi, who are thankful to the Lord for the reason of their worship here in Baclaran.
00:26So that we can be thankful to the Mother of God.
00:29For the reason of Christmas, no matter how hard it is for the Filipinos.
00:33For our well-being, we are thankful for all the blessings for the whole year of 2024.
00:39Because the number of parishioners here in Baclaran Church is increasing.
00:43It is not surprising that the rain is heavy today.
00:47If we compare it to 5am and 6.30am mass, the number of people who worship at this time is increasing.
00:54Rev. Fr. Kenneth Dan Galamaso led the first mass for Christmas.
01:00In the homily, he said that we need to have an action or something we are doing
01:04to sing the true joy that God has given.
01:07Faith without action is dead.
01:11Rev. Fr. Galamaso also gave a message this Christmas.
01:16On this day of Christmas,
01:19we should not only be the bearers of good news,
01:26not just bearers of the good news,
01:31but we also become instruments of the good news.
01:38Instruments of the good news of God.
01:44Last night, before the Christmas mass,
01:47there was a skit showing love for family and hope.
