Today, we stand before the empty tomb, not just as witnesses of history, but as participants in a story of hope and transformation. Jesus’ resurrection is more than an event, it is an invitation to examine our own lives.

Easter reminds us that life is stronger than death, hope stronger than despair, and love stronger than sin. It calls us to reflect: Are we allowing God’s resurrection power to bring change within us? Are we willing to let go of what holds us back and embrace new life in faith, forgiveness, and compassion?

May the risen Christ inspire us to be bearers of hope, peace, and love to a world that longs for renewal.

The **Paschal Candle** is more than a liturgical object, it is a powerful proclamation of faith, especially during the celebration of the Easter.

At its center is the **cross**, reminding us of the sacrifice of Jesus. Yet on the Paschal Candle, the cross is not a symbol of defeat, but of victory.

The Greek letters **Alpha (Α)** and **Omega (Ω)** are inscribed above and below the cross. These signify that Christ is the beginning and the end of all things.

The **current year** marked on the candle emphasizes that Christ is alive **here and now**. He is not just a figure of the past but a living Savior who walks with us in our present realities.

The **five grains of incense** embedded in the candle symbolize the five wounds of Christ. They remind us of His immense love, a love that was willing to suffer for the sake of humanity. These wounds are not just marks of pain but signs of mercy and healing.

Finally, the **light of the candle** itself represents Christ as the Light of the World. Just as the flame pierces through darkness during the Easter Vigil, we are reminded that no sin, no failure, and no suffering can overcome His light.

The Paschal Candle calls us to a simple but profound truth: **Christ is alive, and His light continues to shine through us**.

**Invitation to the Easter Vigil**

As we journey through the sacred days of Holy Week, we warmly invite you to join us for the **Easter Vigil**—the mother of all liturgies today at 5:00 pm at the Chapel of Señor Santo Niño, Pier 3.

Come and witness the beauty of light overcoming darkness, as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord. Let us gather in prayer, hope, and renewed faith as we welcome the joy of Easter.

May this holy night rekindle in us the light of Christ and fill our hearts with new life.

We look forward to praying with you.

**Good Friday** is not just a story of suffering; it is the story of a love so great that it chose sacrifice. In the pain, in the silence, and even in the seeming darkness, God was at work—redeeming, restoring, and saving.

Jesus bore the cross not out of obligation, but out of love. A love that embraces even when rejected. A love that forgives even when wounded. A love that remains faithful until the very end.

In our own lives, we carry crosses, struggles, sacrifices, and silent battles. Yet Good Friday reminds us that these are not meaningless. When united with Christ, our suffering becomes a path to grace, transformation, and hope.

For in the Cross, we find not defeat, but the deepest expression of love.

**Maundy Thursday Reflection**

In the quiet act of washing His disciples’ feet, Christ redefines what it means to lead and to love. He kneels before them, even knowing their weaknesses, their doubts, and their betrayals. Still, He chooses to love.

How often do we struggle to serve, especially when it is inconvenient or unrecognized? How often do we withhold forgiveness, waiting for others to change first?

Maundy Thursday reminds us that love begins with us. It begins in small, unseen acts of kindness, in choosing patience over anger, and in offering forgiveness even when it is difficult.
