Holy Monday - Parish "Daan ng Krus" was held and we walked around the community to commemorate Christ's Passion...it was a tiring activity but I was able to pray and remember what God has done for us...
Holy Tuesday - the Parish Youth Council was assigned to join the "Pabasa" which was held at the delos Remedios hall of San Antonio Abad Parish...that was the first time that I attended a pabasa, when i was a child i just hear it from our neighbors..after the pabasa, we prayed the rosary...
Holy Wednesday - we attended the mass before the procession...we also joined the procession and prayed...a lot of people attended the procession...
Maundy Thursday - this was the most tiring day of the week..we attended the Chrism mass at 6 am in the Immaculate Conception Cathedral where all the priests of our Diocese were there to renew their vows...we were there to support our new parish priest Fr. Darwin Calderon...after the Chrism mass, we went to our parish to have breakfast and then we started cleaning the church and arranged the seats for the mass in the afternoon...around 12:30 we went to Manila to conduct Visita Iglesia..we went to different churches in Manila...we visited the Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Parish, Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz, San Sebastian Parish, St. Jude Parish, San Beda, St.Anthony de Padua and Loreto Parish...I was so amazed with the beauty of each of the churches that we visited...a lot of people are also visiting those different churches...in each of the parishes, I told God the desires of my heart (there were 3 as of now)...Gladys, Jem, JC, Don and I were so tired because we just walked to go to the other parishes and it was so hot that day but I enjoyed it a lot because of the designs of the church, the bonding that we had and of course because I felt God's presence in each church...around 4:30pm we went back to Pasig and headed to Don's house to freshen up and for him to be able to dress up since he's one of the Apostles in the mass :)..6:00pm, we attended the mass: washing of the feet and the Lord's supper... i felt already exhausted during the mass but the homily was good and i really tried to stay awake...after the mass we had dinner and went back to the church because we're assigned for the vigil at 11pm...during the vigil, I was able to pray solemnly since there were moments of reflections...when i got home around 12:30 my body felt so exhausted but i can say that my spirit was so high because of the reflections and prayers that i made during the day...
Good Friday - well because i was so tired yesterday, i woke up around 12 nn at i watched the 7 last words on TV...at 3pm i went to the church to attend the mass...after the mass, was the procession where there were more people compared to last Wednesday's procession....
Black Saturday and Easter Sunday - tomorrow we will have the Easter egg painting and we'll attend the easter vigil at 9pm...and we're going to attend the "salubong" on sunday at 5am..we're going to give the easter eggs to the children who'll attend the mass...
it's a tiring week but i really had a great time with my friends and i feel like i'm closer to God...I offer to him everything that I'm doing...I'm happy serving God and i will never get tired of serving Him because I love Him...here's a video of "we are the reason", i love this song because it reminds me of God's love to us...
