KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato, April 4 (PIA) -- Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez of the Diocese of Marbel urged believers of Christ, especially the Catholics , to spend the Holy Week in prayers, meditations and sacrifices rather than in vacations and merriment. | |||
“This entire week should be devoted to remembering the suffering , crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ,” he said in an interview with a local radio station. | |||
“All other weeks of the year, we do not celebrate the Paschal mystery, only this week,” he reminded them. | |||
He said believers should spend this entire week to praise God the Father for giving his only Son Jesus Christ who offered Himself to be crucified on the cross for the salvation of humanity. | |||
There is no better way to celebrate this, he added, but to reflect on the Jesus’s suffering on the cross and his rise to glory on Easter Sunday. | |||
Bishop Gutierrez, however, asked believers to refrain from the traditional practice of some devotees to show their sacrifices by having themselves nailed on the cross. | |||
Above all these, Bishop Gutierrez added, the entire Christendom should contemplate more on the glory of Christ’s resurrection. | |||
In response, he pointed out, people should live with fear and faith on God by showing love and care for other people. | |||
“After the Good Friday, Christ rose from the dead. He triumphed against death,” he said. “We should also change. We should also overcome.” | |||
Easter should also be a time to give attention to the protection of the Mother Earth. | |||
He said, by giving importance and taking care of the Mother Earth, we show love for humanity as well as prepare the Earth for the future generation. | |||
