Thank you, JMJ. Your prayer is sure to touch Our Savior's Heart.

Although Our Lady of Piat's apparition is not yet approved by the Bishops, I'm sure Our Blessed Mother is smiling at you for your great act of charity. I am not sure what "Piat" means, whether it's the name of the town where the reported apparition took place, or the name that the apparition herself revealed.

My guess is that "Piat" means "Fiat", referring to Mary's consent to become the Mother of God. Uh...the Philippine alphabet does contain the letters F and V, same with the "th" and "ch" sounds, so people just automatically say "p" in place of "f." Lol. Punny dat deyr kountri's neym istarts wid de f-sound. So, "Pilipins" instead of Philippines ;).
