There was a story about a man, his mother and his girlfriend all in a boat that was in the middle of a storm. The boat tossed everyone overboard and the man got back on but the boat is beyond its original capacity. There can only be one more. Who will it be? Mother? or girlfriend? I always thought it be so romantic to be the one who is saved. But on the other hand how ungrateful he would be if he didnt save his own mother.
My answer came. Jesus would have given up his own place, to let all go on board and choose to die instead. What a guy!
Looking through all the different methods, reflections, i found one that i adapted to suit our youth. One that reflects on our own lives. The 14 stations were strategically positioned around the various parts of the house, the last station ended in an open roof deck with a view of the sky. A time of thanksgiving with songs and personal prayer was held at the chapel. In the serene presence of our Lord.
"I had a very peaceful, wonderful moment (during the Stations of the Cross)" Said one of the youth, Key Ann.
"It was a good and perfect moment that reminded me of all the good that has happened to me. It is a good reflection before Holy Week. It has helped me to repent, give thanks to God and to all the people around me" Ghel
Thank you Lord for your victory over death, your unsurpassable love for us. Thank you for embracing the cross. That in your death, we might have life.
