Today is the start of our Misa de Gallo or what he called here Night Mass. The Night Mass usually start at 3:30 am and will end at 4:30 am followed by another mass. Catholic use to practice the nine-day series of dawn masses to basically grant their wishes. But other places also doing this as to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Today, I missed it because I was too tired to wake up during those hours. I was out the whole night because of our Foundation's Movie for a Cause.
Since I did not start the Night Mass, I think I will just have the regular Mass.
How about you? Did you attend the Night mass?

That is a very early time. I do not go to church, but hopefully you'll make it the regular mass then. :)

No, we don't have that night Mass at dawn here in Germany. I think it is only in the Philippines. Last year I attended one time Mesa de Gallo and never did it again. You, know why? How can I understand what the priest was talking about when I couldn't concentrate due to sleepiness? Almost half of the people inside the church were sleeping. That doesn't make sense. I prefer going to the church at day time.

I think only Catholics follow this. We don't have any such mass.

@JustBhem I guess I should the late mass instead. Do you have evening masses in your place?
