Siem Reap's Catholic Church

After watching the sunrise by Angkor

We had to head back to hear Mass for my birthday

They only have 1 mass everyday and it was at 6:30 in the morning

I was pleasantly surprised that in this dominantly Buddhist country

I can still find a Catholic Church

It was small and modest

but somehow gives you a real connection up there

I was even touched that the nun came up to us & asked me to read the reading

And thought what a nice gift and honor from above

There were like 15 of us in that small chapel

4 from our family

and several really small children that I can assume the nuns were taking care of

It was simple, solemn and sincere

It's heartwarming to know that despite the minority

They still keep loyal to their faith

In these times where the world's direction and moralities

are justified by comfort and worldliness

It is encouraging to see steadfast men & women

who stay true to their journey to holiness

God bless His people.
