Carmelite Spirituality Center
Our second stopover was the Carmelite Spirituality Center situated high above the mountains of Barangay Milagros, Ormoc. The walk towards the center was tedious which only made me realize how much I lacked exercise.

The Carmelite Spirituality Center was of course captivating and somber. To witness the stunning statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus, we had to climb further up small but rather lengthy steps. I could not help but feel that the further we ascended up those hallowed steps, the more you feel spiritually vulnerable and reflective.

After reaching the top, I have never felt happier since finally we were able to reach our short and momentary destination and of course, I got to see the statue closely. I felt an assortment of feelings then, I prayed again thinking that I had to, it was inevitable. I guess this is somehow what anyone would most likely do whenever you feel God is in close proximity.

I refuse to be a hypocrite so I dare admit that more often than not I tend to neglect praying and contemplating my spiritual existence. This is something that I am not proud of but am willing to put in extra effort in keeping in touch with my spirituality.

Claretian Mission Center

Our last visit was the Claretian Mission Center which can be found just a few miles before the Carmelite Spirituality Center. Just the same it was a place where anyone would feel indebted to God. You will certainly sense the need to be yourself and commune with God.

As I continuously took pictures of these spiritual sites, I felt excited to share about our experience with other people. Perhaps you would rather go elsewhere than to confront your spiritual insecurities and impurities.

But just bear in mind that whenever you need a place to be closer to God, you can always consider visiting Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery, Carmelite Spirituality Center, and Claretian Mission Center as safe havens to seek spiritual guidance and prayers.
