Holy Week

When was the last time that I observed Holy Week? I could barely remember.

Holy Week use to be a week long family bonding. It's one of those few times when our entire family goes to church together. I miss the processions. The candles. The excruciating three o'clock mass. The touching stories we hear from people for the seven last words.

I wish I could be home this Holy Week. I'd surely be begging for a chance to share my story...

"eli, eli, lama sabachthani"
