Thought SOLIDARITY

Life grinds to slow motion this Holy Week in the Philippines.

Many of us are getting ready for a vacation trip, while others are already enjoying the vacation.  Do have fun, but be safe everybody.

Where ever we are, Good Friday becomes such a slow day, and almost everyone is on a reflection mode.  Friends who make beach resorts a regular Holy Week vacation spot attest that the sea is not as inviting or they just do not have the individual motivation to enjoy the waters.  Common observation is that even those who play card games and "mahjong" would stop playing within the hours of 1:00 - 3:30 PM on Good Friday.

May I suggest an activity for everyone, preferably as a FAMILY, to spend 15 minutes to a half an hour, within the hours of 1:00 - 3:00 PM on Good Friday, to REFLECT on only the POSITIVE.

Praying the Rosary, as many emails are propagating, is another great activity.  Reflecting on the objective of Jesus' passion and death, may be more appropriate at that time.

It must amount to something really good and long lasting when a huge number of people just think POSITIVE for them selves, and more importantly for everyone else.

Let us reflect on the good things we now enjoy.  Let us reflect on the love and caring we receive.  Let us reflect on our experience of good feeling when ever we freely give love and care to family and friends.  Let us endorse to GOD'S blessings and providence our family and friends who have less than what we have and enjoy.

A blessed and fulfilling Holy Week, everybody.

GOD Loves us.
