Good Friday

I missed celebrating Holy week with my family! I came from Philippines which is almost 90% of population are catholic. My family is one of them. We do not eat meat for holy Wednesday until Easter Sunday. Holy Monday and Tuesday as much as possible we avoided to eat meat as well. Holy Thursday and Good Friday we go to church and joined the procession. My dad normally help push the cart where the dead of Jesus laid down for few hours depending on the route that the church planned to cover.

Here in the US is totally different. Holy week is the same as the ordinary week. I remember only one Good Friday I went to church in 2004 since I came here a week before the Holy week. After that I celebrate most of my holy week at work or at home because we do not have a car to go church.

Today, I woke up planning to go to church with my kids. The station of the cross will start at 3pm, but I still don't have a car to use for transportation. Renting a cab is quite expensive and I cannot afford that. I was thinking to take the bike trailer to haul my kids , but the weather is quite warm, they will be cooked in that trailer for few hours...sighhhh oh what to do! what to do! Nothing actually, but pray at home from the bottom of my heart. HAVE A GOOD FRIDAY EVERYONE!

I was able to go to church before my husband went to work today. I saw the church schedule that they were having a station of the cross from 12nn. So, I went and did  the station of the cross by my self and offered some prayers for our friend who is in the hospital recovering from the major heart surgery. Thanks to our Lord for saving us from sins.
