Holy Monday Talk of Fr Jerry Orbos SVD

Given at Shrine of Jesus the Divine Word at Christ the King Seminary in Quezon City

“Three prayers for this Holy Week:

– Be Healthy.
We have to focus on the HUMOR and NOT on the TUMOR. Take good care of yourself.

– Be happy.
A lot of people are struggling to be happy because they are not contented with what they have. Count what you have and not those what you don’t have.

– Be Holy.
Strive for a life of holiness and continue to seek God in your hearts. Be joyful as you do your traditions this Holy Week.

Three Rs that you should do this Holy Week:

– Rest.
Ask yourself, how are you doing in your life? Have you been so busy that you forget to take care of yourself? Rest your body, mind and soul.

– Reflect.
On the things that you have been doing, ask: Are you doing everything for the glory of the Lord? The Lord is cheering for the joyful and repentant heart.

– Renew.
Renew your broken relationships and be humble. Receive the sacrament of Reconciliation as God waits for you to come back to Him.”
