a time to reflect


Growing up in a family who values one's religion, I have lived my entire life commiting my time to our Lord during the Lenten Season. For me, the Holy Week definitely is a time to reflect. I would most likely be in Pampanga participating in the town rituals such as processions, Way of the
Cross and prayer vigil. I have witnessed men endure self-flagellation, carrying of the cross and real crucifixion in the town of Cutud.

In a previous post, I mentioned how excited I was to go back and take new photos in Cutud. However, with the way things are going here in Manila (I still have work until Holy Wednesday), I don't think my plans could push through. My hubby and I will instead spend the Holy Week in our house in Cainta.
I asked Gino to go to confession with me on Maundy Thursday. The morning of Good Friday, we will visit churches to do the Way of the Cross, our first time as husband and wife. As of today, I have 7 churches in mind.

1. Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Pasig
2. Sto. Rosario de Pasig Parish
3. Edsa Shrine, Ortigas
4. St. Francis Church, Mandaluyong
5. Divine Mercy, Mandaluyong
6. San Felipe Neri Church, Mandaluyong
7. Villa San Miguel, Mandaluyong

Although I know it's a time to reflect, I'll make sure I bring my camera with me. You'll never know, I might see something worth documenting.
