“Laban lang, para sa pamilya.” Hindi pare-pareho ang danas sa linggo ng pagkabuhay—habang ipinagdiriwang ang muling pagkabuhay, may mga tsuper na patuloy na nakikipaglaban para mabuhay sa gitna ng walang humpay na pagtaas ng krudo. Sa kalsada, ang bawat pasada ay panalangin at pag-asa.

Isang tahimik ngunit malalim na anyo ng debosyon ang pag-aalaga ng Santo—hindi lamang sa paglalagay nito sa altar, kundi sa pagbibigay-buhay sa pananampalataya sa bawat pag-aayos at pagbibihis.

NAG VISITA IGLESIA KA BA? Sa gitna ng pagod at init ng paglalakbay, mas pinili pa rin ng marami ang maglakad at magnilay sa bawat simbahan. Ang Visita Iglesia ay hindi lamang simpleng tradisyon tuwing Mahal na Araw-ito ay isang paalala ng sakripisyo at pananampalataya.
