Do people still consider Holy Week Significant?

Hello bestboy19! :-) That is already the trend of the time. Jesus for them is for 'emergency' use only. People only pray when accidents, deaths, tragedies happen but at times of their jest and fun, Christ the Lord seems to be in oblivion. Although, this is really a very wrong notion and thinking, this can't be helped as most people are exposed to worldly things rather than on spiritual aspects of their being. Sad really, but this is true. Let us just hope and pray that someday, they will realise their folly and that they turn to God for total surrender every single minute, hour and day of their lives. God bless you and your family bestboy19!

Thank you. I have my faith. I'm Jewish. But I really , truly appreciate the offer. That was so sweet of you. I sorry many called themselves Christian but do not respect Easter, The End of the Beginning! That's how I see it.

Hello Sarah! I can't believe I am actually talking to one of God's chosen people! Wow! I just can't help but appreciate the way you talk to a Catholic-Christian like me. :-) Anyway, regarding some Christians you mentioned; indeed a very sad reality that some Christians do not take Easter seriously maybe because they are too preoccupied to do things which are all focused on material assets and liabilities. However, when it comes to faith now, they are zero. Oh yes, some of them pray and attend Mass but their being a Christian ends when they step out of the church's door. :-) You know what, I like the way to perceive Easter : " The End of the Beginning" hey, you sounded more like a Christian than a Jew! :-) But seriously, I have high regards to Jews as the Christian history of salvation all came from you guys. You are the origin of all these :-) I am just curious, if you don't mind. Are there Jews nowadays, converted to Christianity? Just curious..:-) ( I do believe that the Jewish faith and the Catholics have a very good relationship and understanding.)

I appreciate your stand as a non-Christian. I like the way you say things. It is indeed with respect and for that you put yourself on a pedestal that even some "Christians" do not have - respect. Thank you for that. However, as a buddy here in myLot, I would just like to invite you to read and search for it (the truth), you might want to browse the Bible and things like that. You might even ask questions about the faith through me. I'll do my best to answer you. Again, thank you.

Yes, for these people, the Holy week is the most wonderful time of the year, since this will be their time to go into summer escapades. People of today view things in the secularist way. They forget that we only live this life once and that we should live it rightfully.

I commend you parents for being a good steward of God. They are guiding you on the right path always. Please extend my warmest regards and congratulations to them. I totally agree with your folks. Even if Holy Week is still part of summer, there are other days wherein you can do your swimming, beach hopping, party by the beach, etc. some other time and not during Holy Week. The problem with some people is that, they are missing the point of having a Holy week. The reason why its called "HOLY" its because it is allotted for reflection and meditation; not for party and vacation...

Thanks for the concurring maharlikah! =) May the good Lord bless and keep you in this Holy Week. May you spend quality time with your family and with the Lord. God bless you always! =)
