SEMANA SANTA 2023

 Following the Epiphany Season in the Christian calendar comes Lent. It is a day set aside by us each year to reflect on the love of God that was manifested in Christ Jesus' death on the cross and in His victory over sin, death, and the devil via His death and resurrection, which grants you Everlasting Life.


 

 


During this year's Lenten season, my cousins and relatives went here to Ilocos for a week. We all commemorate during Holy Week. During Good Friday, we went to visit churches also called as Visita Iglesia. It was also an opportunity to bond with my family, friends, and cousins. On Easter Sunday, we went on a trip to the beach to celebrate that Christ had risen. On that short vacation I would say I enjoyed it because I had time to bond with my family especially friends and cousin after a long period of time not being each other. 



Lent is the Christian season of spiritual preparation before Easter. In Western churches, it begins on Ash Wednesday. During Lent, many Christians observe a period of fasting, repentance moderation, self-denial, and spiritual discipline. The purpose of the Lenten season is to set aside time for reflection on Jesus Christ to consider his suffering and his sacrifice, his life, death, burial, and resurrection.

Risk it or not?

C. Joybell once said, “We can’t be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea.” Change can be hard to achieve due to that it’s difficult to leave the routine you’ve become familiar with. Because of this thought, a person is afraid of change or to able oneself for his/her own improvement.   Growing always leads to change. By embracing change and exploring things outside your comfort zone means discovering what you really love and what you stand out in. For instance, the life cycle of a butterfly. In this process, the form of the insect change as time passes by. It starts off as a caterpillar then eventually transforms into a colorful butterfly. In this example, it shows how change affects everything. If you learn to risk it, you may end up with a result that you might like.   Always remember, change always begins on the inside. It is only yourself who wi
