Semana Santa

Nakakalungkot lang na sa panahon ngayon, hindi na masyadong binibigyan ng importansya ang pagsasakripisyo sa panahon ng semana santa.

Naaalala ko dati, bawal talaga mag-ingay pag alas-tres na ng Good Friday hanggang sa Salubong. Napapagalitan pa ko ng lola ko kapag nagbubukas ako ng radyo. Kasi nga, we are commemorating the death of Jesus. Pero ngayon, may nag-iinuman at meron pang nagvi-videoke. Dati rin, halos ang mga tao nasa bahay lang kapag Maundy Thursday hanggang Black Saturday. Pero ngayon, nasa Galera, Boracay at kung saan-saan pang galaan. Jesus was somehow lost in Holy Week. And it's sad. Holiness was now hardly felt in the air.

I wish we can bring back the "Holy" in Holy Vacation Week.

But he was pierced for our rebellion,
Crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.


Isaiah 53:5
