Hi everyone, nice to be in here again... I was taught in school and encouraged by my mom to make an effort to make some sacrifice during Holy Week. My understanding of a sacrifice is giving up something that I desire (like ice cream,chocolates,and our favorite tv program). There was one holy week that I promised myself and GOD that I would not have my favorite cola,which was so hard for me because at that time, I couldn't live without soft drinks since it made my every meal a perfect one. But Right after the Lenten season, as I took my first sip of my favorite drink, my taste buds unexpectedly changed and even the diet drink became too sweet for me. What I learned is that whatever from our sacrifices take, there will always be a good outcome. Jesus doesn't expect us to make a sacrifice but if we can do it for Him during the Lenten season without expecting anything in return, it is all worth it because it is for Him-He would gave us His eternal life so that we live with GOD forever. What about you guys? What are your own sacrifices this holy week? enjoy the Lenten season with My Lot..

10 years ago yes i did sacrificed through not eating of rice and meat during Good Friday,no noise allow during that time but now a days in my observation most of the people enjoy this whole week as a vacation time together with their family and some other friends.

Payment from Nomincashout - I got paid by nomincashout for the third time!
I never sacrificed anything because I don't I like anything which is that good to be sacrifieced. I don't drink cola or liqu0r. I don't smoke. I don't eat outside home. One thing I do is that in the month of October-November, I don't eat for one time. That is the only thing I do.

Hi there! During Holy Weeks I just avoid eating meat and pork for meals. We only cook vegetables and fish. As much as I would want to do sacrifice more than that I can't. I have gastritis and I can't go on fasting cause my stomach will hurt and it might cause damage to my health. I just pray a lot and often visit the church. It's a good thing for people who do sacrifices during Holy Weeks. I believe by doing so they get closer to God and have their sins forgiven. Ciao!
