Semana Santa; Lent Season

            Lenten season is a traditional season wherein Catholics practiced during this time. It is a season where we honor the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Lent is done by fasting, and it usually begins on Ash Wednesday and it ends on Easter Sunday. Lenten season is where we repent for our sins, reflect on our doings, and give thanks to our Lord. During this season, we offer ourselves to God and pray for everything he has done for us. Before the pandemic it is a feast where all of us are together to celebrate this kind of season.

            Before the pandemic, Lenten season is full of activities. Lent Seasons starts at Ash Wednesday, and we end it on the Easter Sunday. At the final week of this season, we celebrate Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday, and finally Easter Sunday. Pre-pandemic activities includes the parade of saints, Visita Iglesia, Siete Palabras fasting, and many more. Now that we are on a pandemic, the traditional way of celebrating this season is very different. We have to do the non-traditional way of celebrating this season such as no physical contact, no more parade of saint, and especially no more Visita Iglesia’s. As the pandemic continues, these types of activities are banned for now. As Lenten season begun, we encourage all people to pray and give thanks to the sacrifices that where given to us.

            As the season begins, we should always remember no matter where you are, Lord God is with us all the time. We cannot commemorate the Lenten season the traditional way but as long as put, our hearts in honoring this season God will forever love us. Honoring this season, as a Christian is not hard, just spread peace, love, and give thanks to everyone. Giving importance to Lenten season shows that our actions as Christians are not dying. Always remember that God is always with us no matter what happen.

    Hey Franz! As simple as spreading love, peace, and remembering that God is always with us, is the best way to spend the Lenten Season. Keep up the good work as always and stay safe!

A Tough One

January 1, 2020, we were very happy to open a new year, many kids are jumping, and rejoicing everywhere and a lot of us are very excited for new chapter in our lives. But COVID-19 showed up that we didn’t expect to come. Many countries closed down its borders and implemented strict protocols in order for the virus to stop spreading. The virus closed down many schools, businesses, and also lives. As the pandemic continues to hurt many lives, a lot of us are still trying to recover from this pandemic. Our lives can be shut down by the pandemic but we are fighters, fighting for our lives and fighting for a COVID-19 world.                                               All of the countries in the world have been affected by this pandemic, including the Philippines.

The Modern Me

  We start our year with a bang. Fireworks are blasting in our skies, people are cheering “Happy New Year” some are jumping, and some are praying to give us a beautiful year. As January 1 passes by we can see a lot of post in social media with the captions “New Year, New Me”, “Changing this New Year”, and “Entering the year, with a new me”. We Filipinos are known for having the grandest celebrations when it comes to New Year, Christmas, and even Fiesta’s. 2021 is truly a blast for all of us, and opening a new chapter of our lives is a cheerful part for all of us.             A new chapter to our lives must be a joyful feeling but it has the feeling of being anxious on what this year has stored for us. We are all hopeful to have a blessed and happy 2022. No more COVID-19 cases, no more deaths because of this virus, and us being able to free ourselves form lockdowns and quarantines caused by this virus. We also want to give our...

Environment for all

As we grow older, we change. Just like our environment, it also changes. As time passes by our environment slowly degrades, we can see this before the pandemic. Before the pandemic people are littering, burning plastics, not following the proper waste segregation, and many more. As we went on lockdown, we have to stay in our homes, which resulted in the healing of our earth. Due to the lockdown we experiences some news that our earth is slowly going back to its original form, and being clean and green again. As we see small changes, we must continue this to see big changes. As a citizen, we must do everything that we can to make it good again.               There are many steps in protecting our environment, I narrowed it down to two simple ones but I consider this very helpful. First, we must know ourselves, ask yourself “Am I making the earth better or I make it worse?” As we get to know ourselves, we slowly learn the thing...
