President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Sunday called on the Catholic faithful to illuminate the path for other people this Holy Week through acts of kindness and selflessness.
Marcos said the Holy Week is a commemoration of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and a time to reflect on the transcendent encounters in people’s lives.“May our inward reflections manifest in our outward actions as we strive to give hope in a world that is threatened by darkness. Let us be the light that shines through the shadows, the love that triumphs over despair, and the hope that radiates upon all humankind,” the President said in a statement.
”Marcos also said that he prays for people to humbly accept their authentic selves as imperfect beings, “for it is by becoming truly human that we can experience the divine.”“Let us always remember to seek the Lord in our desires and to desire Him in our seeking. May we all have a meaningful and reflective Holy Week,” he added.Devotees started flocking to churches on Sunday morning with their palaspas or palm fronds to signify the start of Holy Week.
