Wondering of a special thing to do for my birthday weekend led us to a roadtrip to Kamay ni Hesus Shrine. Kamay ni Hesus is a famous pilgrimage site, known for it Healing Church.
It sits on a 5 hectare land that also includes a Via Dolorosa Grotto, Noah’s Ark, Sea of Galilee, Holy Family Park, and the Pastoral Center founded by the Healing Priest, Fr. Joey Faller.
I thought it would be nice to attend mass to give thanks for the past wonderful 41 years and pray for an even more blessed years ahead.
The Healing Church.
We arrived at 10am and missed the 9am. The following mass starts at 5pm anticipated masses during Saturdays (I have appended below the daily mass schedule, for reference).
Next stop is the Via Dolorosa Grotto, which features the Fourteen (14) Stations of the Cross.
It was a tiring walk up the grotto's steep (290+) steps, you would literally have to carry yourself to reach the top.
So tired, but we got to look fresh in front of the camera...
Yehey, almost at the top :P
Made it...
The Kamay ni Hesus grounds is truly picturesque, with activities even for the youngest member of your family.
Our 9 year old, enjoyed and lingered a bit at feeding Koi fishes at the Sea of Galilee.
I never thought, feeding Koi Fishes will be so relaxing.
I could play this video, over and over again.
Beside the Sea of Galilee is the Noah's Ark. This building houses accommodation, for retreatants and those wanting to stay overnight or longer at Kamay ni Hesus.
Kamay ni Hesus is a perfect place to rekindle faith, give thanks and seek guidance.

Wow, 290 steps! I'm not sure if I can climb pa ng ganyang kataas. This reminds me of the grotto in Baguio and Divine Mercy Shrine in Misamis Oriental na hingal na hingal ko after umakyat. hehehe!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this place before. I think someone blogged about it. It's a very interesting place. Sana jan kami nag school retreats before kaya lang I don't think it existed back then.
ReplyDeleteBeen here early this year, we enjoyed eating pansit habhab then went to Kamay ni Hesus. Napagod ako kasi tirik ang araw nung pababa. After we attended the mass. My daughter enjoyed playing at the play ground near Noah's ark, sayang di namin nakita yang Sea of Galilee.
