a Lenten reflections

It is finished...the last word of Jesus before He died..
When you hear this words, what would you feel?. what would you do to make Jesus sacrifice worth it?..
In this time, some of us would not be able to have just a second reflections, we forget to have time to pray, we forget to go to church to thank God for this wonderful life He had given to us, it is awful that some of us will go to malls, and some beaches just to have a time for friend and family bonding..without knowing the true meaning of Lenten season..Lenten Season is a time to commemorate the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, we should have a time to talk to God. Just pose for a while, grab a rosary, close your eyes, and reflect, pray and talk to God..

He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. ³⁶These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken,"^b]">[b] ³⁷and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."^c]">[c]
