Happy Easter! Today I celebrated Easter with my family in Manila, Cotabato, and Seattle! We all can't physically go to mass, but we all tuned in to the 10AM Manila Cathedral Easter Sunday online mass.
The priest challenged everyone watching to find some good value out of our lockdown situation. He highlighted that Lent this year was imposed on us, it has brought everyone to sacrifice a busy lifestyle for a simpler one. For the past 40 days, we stripped away from our busy-ness, the lockdown gave us more time to listen, to pray, and to be caring and loving to others.
One thing I value out of this lockdown is growing closer with my family. Despite being in different cities and in different situations, we are all experiencing the effects of COVID19. Through our group chat, we allow each other to have a platform to lay down worries and anxieties. We also provide each other prayers, words of encouragement, and also entertainment through sharing music and photos.
Easter is about hope. Easter shows us that there is light despite the darkness we are experiencing. There can be good out of these times. I know the future is uncertain, but I am hopeful.
Christ is risen, Alleluia!
Happy Easter! Keep faith. Keep your hopes up. Jesus is risen, he will take over and handle the situation for us. Alleluia!
