LENTEN SEASON

 



LENTEN SEASON

        Every year, the Roman Catholic Church commemorates our Lord Jesus Christ's sacrifices during the Lenten season. It is a Roman Catholic custom, and it is a highly special day for this religion. This day will commemorate Jesus' long-ago sacrifice for the welfare of all humanity. Many people do not look forward to Lent. Giving up candy as a kid or sitting through weekly Stations of the Cross come to mind right away. Words like "sacrifice," "discipline," and "self-denial" are frequently employed in ways that imply Lent is a period of suffering rather than grace and spiritual progress.

        Have you ever considered Lent as a once-a-year second chance? Every year, the Church allows us six weeks to reflect on our lives and evaluate if our values and priorities are in line with God's purposes for us. Since most of us have strayed from God's path, Lent provides us with a second chance, or do-over, to "return to God with our full heart." Every year on April 14-15, they commemorate Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The Catholic Church recommends all Catholics to fast and refrain from meat on specified days during Lent to motivate them to accomplish at least a minimum. Fasting entails only eating one complete meal per day, with the possibility of two smaller meals. Abstinence requires abstaining from eating meat, with the exception of fish. Catholics must observe all days of fasting and abstinence, according to one of the Church's precepts.

        We're spotlighting Lenten activities and memories of those who have shared their tales with us. This is a crucial occasion for Catholics to recognize and remember what Jesus Christ did for us to become safe. Their stories range from the religious and traditional to the innovative and unusual, but they all represent attempts to make Lent a meaningful time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. Invite family members to talk about their Lent plans, goals, and desires. Decide to back each other up in anything you decide to undertake. Remember that each step gets you closer to our loving God's welcoming arms as you travel through this annual second chance.

Pandemic in Christmas

 In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, how does one enjoy Christmas this year? This is most likely one of the few times in modern history when we are urged to enjoy Christmas in its purest form, in its simplicity. We are preoccupied with rules on how to enjoy Christmas this year– with just members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to observe social separation, or to wash hands frequently– due to the attention on the Covid virus. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented from visiting one another. This year, we won't be able to experience the normal Christmas joy and mirth that we have come to expect. Covid, on the other hand, should not detract from our Christmas celebrations! This season, let us spread even more hope, peace, joy, and love!And it is here that I am reminded of our Savior's birth. The Christmas story is a straightforward one. Only his mother and father were present when our Lord and Savior was born in a ma...

My Lovely Story In This Perplexing World

  My name is Winalyn V. Cabbab, 15 y/o. I lived in this Barrio from the town of Santa , province of Ilocos Sur, called "Nagpanaoan". I have one sibling; basically we're two sisters, I'm the oldest the tallest and sometimes act like a mom. My mom is a Teacher in Grade 1. My dad's a Farmer also a former OFW,fisherman to be exact My life isn't perfect; I made a lot of mistakes at a young age, and I guess that's part of growing up. My life became more boring during the pandemic, but I learned valuable lessons. It bothers me sometimes when I abruptly cut people out of my life, because I might end up with no one and be alone. Being alone isn't that difficult because it can provide you with peace of mind; what's difficult is feeling alone. If being alone means having peace of mind, then I enjoy being alone and would prefer to be alone. As I previously stated, life is difficult, but it becomes even more difficult when a pandemic strikes. To be honest, I ...

3RD QUARTER: REFLECTION

Image
          As the third quarter comes to a close, it's difficult to believe we're approaching the end of the 2020-2021 academic year. Even if the school year is approaching to an end, it is still extremely difficult and stressful because, due to the pandemic, we are currently studying at a different phase, online or modular learning. Despite the fact that I should be happy because, after returning from a much-needed break and passing three challenging periods, we will now enter the fourth marking period full steam ahead, I can't help but feel sad and anxious. On the other hand, I have to remind myself that I gave it my all and that's why I'm here.       The sort of learning has changed in the most recent quarter of ICT. We learned about community-based research in the third quarter, which we had never heard of before, but it is very similar to what we are learning in Research II; the only difference is that there are only a few parts to creating a ...
