in mediasres - ;: holy week reflections :;

It's the time of the year when people head towards the most beautiful beaches, private resorts, amazing parks, getaways and country destinations...It's the time when families and friends take a break from the hustles and bustles of their busy lives to be able to rest and spend an amazing time with their loved ones.

That may be the case for most people, but I personally remain different. It has been a tradition that during Holy Week, our family do not go out neither go to beaches or other places. We remain in the comfort of our home here in Batangas, attends the liturgical celebration and procession during Holy Friday. I personally believe that Holy Week is a time for REFLECTION - RECOLLECTION and a for a little SELF SACRIFICE. This is the time when our Saviour Jesus Christ manifested His' ultimate love for us - SINNERS - when He offered his' life for everyone. During this time, we are reminded of this ultimate love we are given. Let us all try to reflect - - - of what have we done to be grateful of this love. Or are we deserving of such? Have we been thankful of the graces we've recieved?

Let us not forget in the midst of all the excitement and quality time we are having with our families this Lenten Season - to pause for awhile, breathe - reflect - say our prayers - and be THANKFUL for the LIFE we are given.
