Ep 31 | Simbang Gabi: Wish Granted Pag Nakumpleto? O Pinoy Superstition Lang?

“Pag nakumpleto mo ang 9 days, matutupad ang wish mo?”We all know the tradition.We wake up before dawn, line up half-asleep, smell the puto bumbong and bibingka, and somewhere along the way, we hear that old belief.Pero totoo ba ’to?Ano nga bang tunay na ibig sabihin ng Simbang Gabi?Kailan ito nagsimula?At paano naging staple ng Paskong Pinoy ang siyam na madaling araw?In this episode, Ann Mare and Fr. Lennon revisit one of our most beloved Filipino devotions. Not as a checklist or cultural hype, but as a novena of hope, sacrifice, and quiet preparation. They explore the history of Simbang Gabi, its joyful liturgy, its deep Filipino roots, and why the Church never taught a “wish formula,” only a God who meets us faithfully at dawn.Kasama rin sa pagninilay ang insights from Pope Francis, St. John Paul II, St. Augustine, at Cardinal Sin, as they reflect on how these nine mornings form the heart to desire Christ. Not just for Christmas, but in the Sunday Eucharist we return to every week.Tara, pag-usapan natin ang hope sa dilim, the desires behind our wishes, and the quiet grace God gives every time we choose to show up.✨ Follow us for more kwentuhang faith:📍 FB: https://www.facebook.com/share/16UykUBmBE/📍 IG: https://www.instagram.com/fptl.podcastMay tanong, hugot, o gusto mo lang mag-share?📩 Email us at [email protected]’t forget to follow, rate, and share this podcast.Kita-kits next episode, ka-Propeta!
