I consider this year's holy week by far the most memorable yet. Why? i don't know (hehe) but i think it's because i understand clearly its meaning more than ever. the past years, i didn't get to spend it the way i think all of us should. two years ago, i was on the road to GenSan on Holy Thursday for our OJT. Last year? hmmm. it's a shame but i don't even remember anything. maybe it was the hype of graduation that was all in my mind that time. But this year was different. I was able to attend the church activities -- from the Via Crucis to the Easter Mass.
The cross invites us to renew our life. “In every situation of our life” and throughout “world history, God can give us a new life”. Likewise, “the seed of hope for new life is found in death,” said Benedict XVI in his address to Christians tonight at the end of the Way of the Cross...
“Let us focus on the crucified Jesus,” Benedict XVI said. “Brighten our hearts so that we may follow you on the way of the cross; let the old, sinful man in us die; transform us in new men transformed by your love”. read full report here
I was happy and content by the time it was Easter Sunday already. Rejoice! The Lord has risen from the dead. Happy Easter Sunday everyone! :) xoxo
