There are more questions about life than answers. It is always good to ask. Like What happens after graduation? After Holy Week, what happens? How are you doing today in your own timeline?
Life is what we make of it and everybody repeats this like a mantra. Yet it is never easy to make anything of life. At least for bloggers, we have a tool to meet halfway through our blogs so blog and blog - live and live.
I would say to any graduate, let this moment be another graduation to mediocrity and onwards to creativity and productivity. What this means, its point is to urge each of us to keep on and while others may not finish some undertaking this is their graduation challenge: one graduation onwards to another; one hurdle to overcome so what else is new?
This is equally the message of Holy Week: life tells us the cycle of life - up then down, then up then down . . .finally up! Believers prefer to think of life as spiral not cyclical because trials are means to do better and find out for ourselves that when we have done everything in our power and it does notwork then it is time to believe God can take over.
So questions like what happens after graduation or after Holy Week, what happens are only some of the endless questions that make life what it is.
Days come and go so there is need to distinguish ordinary days from special days and finally holy days. Like this year's holy week. It is a holy week because:
* persons go out of their way to look deeper into their faith life;
* we try to use this week to experience Jesus in our lives;
* the week takes another perspective of what normally is just any day - it is a set of days that captures the passion,death and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus, the Christ;
* people pray it be holy not for the sake of Jesus but for Christians who ardently need to find the meaning of everything in life most especially the pains, sorrows, death that everyone experiences and should it be the end of the line, that it will find a transcendence that comes only from the Holy; and
* a short week for what is supposed for a lifetime so find during this week the gift of reflection and openness to what life is - after all - a life that makes every person feel the ambivalence of living: life vs. death.
In truth, Holy Week is not only this week but all the weeks of one's life that is always a challenge: to become holy or not is a continuous struggle. We pray for each other this Holy Week and in the other weeks that come our way. May this Holy Week then really be holy because even in our blogging we do not just communicate but we also pray for each other wherever we are.
