    Batangas: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Lipa City

    A popular pilgrimage destination south of Metro Manila, Mt. Carmel Church in Lipa, near the Lipa Cathedral attracts pilgrims and curious tourists passing by the city to marvel at rose petals on display that supposedly has images of Mary and Jesus imprinted that date back to 1948

    Just before going back back to chaotic Manila from Mt. Malarayat, Tutubi and his officemates decided to drop by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.

    Chaos of vehicles trying to get out of the church compound after the 12nn Sunday mass schedule.

    devotees offer prayers to Mary Mediatrix of All Grace

    Catholic devotees attribute the images on the rose petals to Mary, who took on the name Our Lady Mediatrix of All Grace, though the Catholic has yet to fully investigate the event of the miraculous rose petals and release an official statement.

    How to get to Lipa, Batangas:

    Commute from Manila: Board any bus bound for Batangas City via Tanauan (Not via Calabarzon) in Pasay City (Taft Avenue near corner Gil Puyat Ave (LRT Buendia station) then drop off at the Lipa Cathedral. Mt. Carmel Church is walking distance away.

    Driving directions to Lipa, Batangas: from Makati, head towards SLEX then enter Star Toll and exit at Bulihan (access to Malvar town) turn left after the toll gate, and drive till you see a fork on the road with the Welcome to Lipa City sign. Choose left, continue driving until you see Lipa Cathedral (with the distinguishable dome) . Drive past the cathedral and turn left when you see Mister Donut. Mt. Carmel chruch is just there.

    I'm Rudy, I'm religious, i can say that Our Lady of Mediatrix of all nation is really true becouse I experinced her comfort during the time of my illness and i was curred by praying rosary and asking her intercession and that's not all during my birthday last april 2007 of evening, Mother Mary appeared to me in my dream and she introduce herself to me, she said I'm Our Lady of mediatrix of all nation and she ask me to spread her name to the world after that i feel different because how can i spread her name all over the world, I'm simple human and I don't know her title because that time it's new to me that title of Mother Mary.After my dream I visited the church together with the brothers and I bought a picture of Our Lady of mediatrix which this picture is really what I saw in my dream,even the color of her background and her image in my dream is really the same what picture i bought in that church in Lipa, until now this picture is in under my care and every time i see her im very happy, sometimes they like this picture,yes I lend them but during the day that our lady is not in my room I feel something is lacking. for those who will read this I'm not forcing you to believe in me, I just want to share what i experienced and the graces i recieved from her intercession. if you have some comment to me or something you want to know, you can email me in rudydespi@yahoo.com or visit me in my FB bro.clement@yahoo.com Thanks and God bless you all. Our Lady of mediatrix of all nation pray for us.
