Did you have your vehicle blessed?

[Yatta]

this "blessing" thing is still so pervasive in pinoy culture. buti nalang wala na masyadong exorcism and witchhunts

just proves PH is morally and intellectually backwards. wag kayo magalit. most people in civilized countries don't do this anymore

Really? In Japan its a common thing to bring a new car to a Shinto temple and have the local priest wave a stick with pieces of paper at the end around and inside the car. I lived near a Shinto temple when I was in Japan. Its also common to have religious ceremonies and time business openings to auspicious days. Parang masyadong western at European ang concept mo ng civilization.

don't understand what "MOST" means?

Brought mine to my pastor and he prayed over it. I've done the same for every vehicle that I've owned. No fees. No donations. He doesn't take any form of payment. A heartfelt thanks and a firm handshake concludes the ceremony.

The prayer is mostly giving thanks for the privilege and blessing of acquiring a new vehicle. And beyond praying to keep all occupants safe, it's also something of a dedication in that, you make a commitment that you only use the vehicle in a manner that will please the Lord. It's a faith thing that I'm sure a lot won't or refuse to understand.

A short prayer every time I buckle up keeps me (and my tires, in a manner of speaking) firmly planted on the ground. As they say; Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.

No, I'm not some infallible holy man... far from it, in fact. Though, I try to do my best to keep that promise.

tolerance, po.
to each, his own.

as my karate master used to say, "why break board? what it do to you?"

Its ironic some people espouse "civilization" yet are un-civilized by being intolerant of others beliefs.

[dr. d]

no one wins a religion-based argument.
it's part of the definition.

We’re not use to have our vehicles blessed after we acquire them. Until last year my mother in law passed away in our suv. Same priest na din nag bless during the funeral.
