When Holy week comes I can’t help but think of the things that I have done in my life may it be good or bad. Hmmm…maybe because this is only the time when I can reflect on my solitude since everybody is doing it anyway. What a lame excuse!?! But seriously, though I’m a self-confessed asshole, I still find time to make sacrifices. Yes, you heard me right, sacrifices!
I’m not the type who will do Visita Iglesia, crucify myself in Pampanga or whip myself under the heat of the sun. In my own little ways, I do my thing like maybe quitting smoking for a few days or perhaps not drinking for a week. Actually, it’s not really how big or how little is your sacrifice. For me, as long as it’s real and coming from your heart then there will be no question. Another sacrifice probably would be participating in processions and other church activities, which during holy week are very evident. Find time to be one with the rest of the community that could be one! It may be as simple as that but still, its not part of your usual routine or things that you normally do. Holy week comes once every year so why not make the best of what you can do to make it meaningful and worthwhile.
We live in a fast paced-world, a cynical one, a place where technologies rule but we should not forget that Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to save us and that this is the right time to remember all the things he has done for us. I’m not being evangelic or something, I’m a sinner no doubt about it but I know when to stop and give respect to when needed. Huh! That was tough! Anyway, may you have a peaceful holy week and a meaningful one!
