Passion Week

Holy week is not only a time to repent, it is also a time to reflect on what we have done to ourselves, to other people and how our relationship with the Lord made us better persons. This is the time of the year when we take time out and talk to God and ask forgiveness for whatever wrong we have done. Try not to celebrate Holy Week at a beach. Just reflect and talk to God. This is the greatest gift you can offer to Almighty. Let us spare this week to our God. Lets us thank God for all the blessings he has bestowed upon us.  May we all have a meaningful Passion Week!!!!
