Holy Week 2010

It's Holy Week 2010. I like Holy Week very much because it reminds me very much of how I used to spend this week in my mother's hometown and just celebrate the week by watching procession of life size statues of saints and other Holy Week activities such as the pabasa, senakulo, stations of the cross, confession and watching movies such as the Redeemer, The 10 Commandments and so on. Things changed now, we don't go home to our hometown anymore during the Holy Week but we just celebrate it in our home and do religious activities and still enjoy tv shows shown during this week. I like it also because this is a week for God and people and the world are just a bit holier and I just wish it would be Holy Week all year round or Christmas. What is very important is that we give a week to Jesus and how He saved mankind and we reminisce this event, our Salvation, in this very week. It is also a time to ask for forgiveness for our sins and just ask for mercy in our lives from God. It is also a time to ask for blessings in our lives, for lives changed and we strive to change for the better as we strive to become like Christ in our dealings in the world we live in. It is also a time for courage to stand up for Christ as we put Him first in our lives and adore Him in this week and strive to be courageous in our lives that we offer to Him. I hope this Holy Week would be as meaningful to all as it is to me and the others who strive to keep their lives holy and live their lives for God.
