Today, January 9, is dedicated to the Feast of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno, a significant religious event celebrated annually by thousand of Filipino Catholic devotees through prayers and processions, symbolizing the fortified love and faith in the sacrifices of Jesus on the cross.
He saves and heals, enabling the faithful to overcome challenges, sufferings, and pains, and to realize that devoted efforts bring great rewards, especially when one wholeheartedly carries one’s cross.
Like Him, who died on the cross for the sins of humanity, may we always be inspired to carry our crosses with reverence and evangelization, leading us to salvation and glory.
