As a catholic, one of the things that we believe in are relics.
Here is a link regarding the relics to simply things for everyone:

Moving on, I stumbled on this in Manila Cathedral.
The relic is a part of the true cross- the cross where Jesus Christ died.
I got drawn toward the cross which was inticately curved. A part of me felt at peace in that room. I feel so happy, secured, calm.
I approached the cross and saw this and realized that it was indeed a relic. I was not aware what type of relic but, I remember praying this:
Have mercy on me Lord in my sufferings and pain do not abandon me.
That I think summarizes all the things that I felt the past few months. I did not feel healed immediately but the process started right there and then.
I felt comforted even now that I am writing this.
Here are the pictures I took with the carvings done on that cross.
They are truly impressive!
