Instead of going to the beach, the Catholic faithful should spend the Lenten break reflecting and praying in church, Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma said. /PDI
The prelate said the Holy Week — the most solemn period in the Church’s liturgical calendar when Christians relive the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ over 2,000 years ago — was the best time to renew one’s relationship with God and reflect on the Lord’s sacrifice.“Once a year, there is such a thing as Holy Week. It’s not that other weeks are unholy.
Palma called on the people to instead take part in various Church activities to appreciate God’s “all-encompassing love.” Unlike in 2020 and 2021, all churches are now open to accommodate the faithful, Palma said. “Let us appreciate the physical presence of God.”
