I wrote this chapter during Good Friday. My younger brother and I went to church at 3 PM and I was honestly amazed of the rituals or let us say the procedure of the liturgical celebration. It was my first time for my entire 27 years in this world to experience the said celebration. I was so shocked! Why? Because it was the first time that I attended a celebration where there was no entrance song. It started when everybody kneels. When the priests, the lay ministers, the psalmists, and the knights of the altar reached at the altar, they sat, then bent and kissed the floor for a minute or two. I also observed that the center of the celebration is the cross, giving respect with the cross as a symbol of our salvation. I was reminded with the cross of our LORD. Indeed the cross that was carried by Jesus Christ was too heavy. I imagine if I was the one carrying that load I might say, “Oh, no!!!” One, two , three or four steps… I am sure...
