The Love of God is bigger than the universe more than big of what were expecting. Love of God is unconditional doesn’t matter how sinful we are he is willing to forgive and always given a chance to repent. This holy week is a celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The 14th station is one of the sacrifices that’s for me is agony. Agony because I been walking and walking to the top of the hill & every station the distance is long more than kilometer I think. I am not boasting but I am trying to get reflected about God being stoned, neglected, denied, kneeled, and crucified without committing any sins but saving sins of the people and this is all because of LOVE. Every step I made during my walks of six(6) long hours in the middle of the night without trying to get rest I ask myself how big our sins or my sins that God has to go through this kind of sacrifices. He offered himself to save me. Am I worthy enough to be forgiven? Or Are we worth enough to be forgiven? The pain of my body, the dirt of my feet, the sleepless night, the long walk I don’t think are worthy enough to pay back for all the love and goodness he’s given me. This year I must say has many participants compare to last year although the organizer lack to give security measure underestimating the large volume of participants before the 1st station started people get stuck, people banging, shouting and pushing each other just to get out of the way yet fire truck & few vehicles was blocking the road. There was one lady who cried she cried because she can hardly breathe, and I myself was pushing away enough that my arm gets hurt when I lean on the hard bar. I was more worried when my sister and her husband were lost each other my mind was with them considering the large volume of people what will happen to them when they were in the middle of the stuck people. My other friend didn’t finish when he saw a volume of people like ants crawling so he went home. When I saw that too my mind was not sure yet if I have to go on or go home but I was thinking I am here already I have to finish this little sacrifice. After I passed the volume of believers I started the 1st station until the 14th station then when I am in the church I still have to fall in line to throw coins and wipe the Blessed Virgin Mary. Before I went home I bought religious stuff souvenir for my ALAY LAKAD 2010
Reflection: the Alay Lakad symbolizes the importance of sacrifice. It is not a sacrifice where we are asking for rewards or making wishes for our own interest. But the pilgrims are also a time for meditating, talking to God for a longer time. Upon walking were concentrating, were giving a chance to thank God for every blessing he has given us. Although Holy week is just a celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus because we already SAVED but it is our REMINDERS what God DID for us.
