Medical Mission
ROSA
MYSTICA
August 10-16, 2008
DAY 2: August 11
Hundreds of patients on the first day
Second day for Rosa Mystica and already more than 300 patients rushed at the doors of the provisional medical center-a gym! The day started with joy in an official, grandiose and unexpected ceremony in front of all the employees of the Sarangani Province. Prayer, raising of the flag, national anthem, and welcome discourses marked the first moments of this mission founded on friendship. Alas! Distress followed these short moments. Deprived families didn't even have the 50 cents to pay their ride back home in their mountain villages. Numerous and diverse diseases were indentified and taken care of on time but sometimes, the diagnostic arrived too late. The spiritual needs weren't forgotten : after an adequate catechism by the SSPX Oblates and the Bethanians, hundreds of scapulars were blessed and distributed to the patients, by the two priests, Frs. Couture and Ghela.
