A Special Day ( Sharing oil movement ) went to Church of Quaipo filled with purpose and unexpected blessings

March 11 2026

Yesterday ( March 10 2026 ) was a day filled with purpose and unexpected blessings. Charo, two other friends, and I embarked on a mission to Quiapo, eager to share healing and divine mercy with those in need. We arrived at the Quiapo Church at 5:30 AM, to find only a handful of people attending the Holy Mass. A wave of apprehension washed over me, fearing that our 300 pieces of healing oil and Divine Mercy stampitas might not find enough recipients.

A few minutes later, we decided to begin. I separated from the group and positioned myself on the other side of the church entrance to distribute the Divine Mercy oil. After some time, I rejoined my friends. Since the crowd was still sparse, we decided to wait a couple of hours before resuming our distribution. While we waited, we headed to a nearby fast-food place for a simple meal – rice porridge with vegetables and soy beans, keeping with the Lenten season. This mission to share the oil was a beautiful extension of our Lenten observances.

Once our meal was finished, we returned to our task, and to our amazement, the atmosphere had completely transformed. The church grounds were now bustling with people, and to our surprise, many, especially adults aged 40 and above, approached us specifically asking for the healing oil. We didn't even need to announce, "Free healing oil and Divine Mercy stampita." It felt as if a higher power was guiding them to us. This was truly a miracle, as in less than an hour, all 300 pieces of healing oil were distributed!

I had just five pieces left in my hand when I spotted two nuns in blue habits accompanied by a man wearing a Divine Mercy shirt. My heart fluttered with excitement; I was so eager to ask if they were devotees of Divine Mercy, as I am too. Suddenly, a thought popped into my head: I wanted to meet Maria Elena, a person I deeply admire. I asked them if they knew her, but unfortunately, they didn't. Still, I couldn't resist telling them about Maria Elena, the founder of a sharing oil movement with over 500 members. I expressed my fervent wish to meet her someday.

After such an eventful and fulfilling morning, we headed home early, feeling a mix of exhaustion and hunger. We cooked a simple meal to replenish our energy, and then, with hearts full of gratitude and tired bodies, we parted ways and headed to our respective homes. It was a day that reminded me of the profound impact of faith, compassion, and the surprising ways divine grace manifests.

Until Next Time,
