00:00 We are still here at the National Shrine and Parish of the Divine Mercy.
00:08 I am here in the grotto of Our Lady of Fatima.
00:13 You can also see the miraculous water here, one of the most precious things in this church.
00:19 We can also see the three children, San Francisco, Santa Jacinta, and Blessed Lucia.
00:27 At this point, we will talk to the Parochial Vicar of this church, Fr. Jess De Silva,
00:33 to explain to us what is the purpose of this miraculous water.
00:38 Good morning, Fr. Jess.
00:40 Good morning, Fr. Jess.
00:42 Yes, Fr. Jess. Thank you so much for having us.
00:45 First of all, when was this miraculous water discovered?
00:50 And what does this miracle do to the devotees?
00:55 This grotto, specifically the fountain, was established in 1994 when this shrine was established.
01:05 The people here believe that this water can heal.
01:15 Three months ago, a child was brought here with a disease.
01:25 We poured water from here.
01:27 He came back after a month, thanking God for his illness.
01:32 We really didn't know how it happened.
01:35 But we attribute it to God, so that the Lord can help those in need.
01:42 This is a divine mercy grotto, full of mercy and compassion.
01:46 And of course, I understand that many people have donated their food here.
01:52 What is the story behind the donations?
01:55 Usually, the people who attend the worship here, especially those who have feelings,
02:01 most of them are disabled,
02:04 they get water from here, and some people are fed and drink.
02:11 So they drink.
02:12 Yes, if they are already good, they don't need food anymore, they are fed.
02:20 There are no more food here because it was given to those in need.
02:25 And I hope that very soon, after their faith, they will donate to other people.
02:32 There are some who are still living, but we give others food.
02:38 Do you still bless this water? Or is it already blessed?
02:43 We still bless it from time to time.
02:45 Because of course, many people come and go to that water.
02:51 So we bless it from time to time.
02:53 Father, talk to the faithful.
02:56 I'm sure that this Holy Week, this time of Lent, many people would like to come here to your shrine.
03:02 What are the things we can remind them?
03:04 So to those who want to come here to the National Shrine of the Merciful God in Marilao,
03:11 you are always welcome to come here to pray.
03:15 Here you will find our miraculous grotto.
03:19 And then also, here is the highest image of Divine Mercy in the whole world.
03:26 And of course, it is not only the blessing of God that they can find the Lord.
03:31 And people can feel His merciful mercy.
03:36 Father, I will take this opportunity because I have brought books here,
03:40 "The Way of the Crucifixion" for the children.
03:43 I have a lot of copies that can be donated to the children.
03:46 So that as early as now, their faith and their prayer of Stations of the Cross will begin.
03:53 Thank you very much, Ma'am.
03:54 Thank you very much, Father Chester Silva, the parochial vicar of the National Shrine and Parish of the Divine Mercy.
