The Lenten Season

Its Holy Week here in the Philippines, a very important religious observance for us Catholics. It is celebrated with huge festivities around the country. In some regions, Easter procession is started from Holy Thursday, where volunteers walk around the city in bare foot, carrying wooden cross. My family and some of our friends also observed this most important holiday by Visita Iglesia where they visited seven churches. My grandsons also witnessed the procession and the passion of Christ in Cabanatuan and Paete, Laguna. For us, we just stayed at home, pray and watched the Lenten programs in television. Praying, forgiving and repenting should be done throughout the year and not during Holy week only.
