I started praying St. Clare's and the Sto.Nino novena for 9 days yesterday, it gives me strength and I feel that I am not alone in this. I stopped going to Quiapo church though, in this weather I'll get sick and I don't want that especially now that I'm trying to conceive. But if I get pregnant, I'll go there for sure and attend mass.  For now, I am praying the rosary, saying my novenas and praying very hard that God will grant my request this cycle.
