Holy Thursday: Embodying Humility Through the Washing of Feet

On Holy Thursday, collaborators at Santa Rosa Radio Televisión participated in a symbolic foot-washing ceremony. This act, mirroring Jesus’s gesture of humility and service towards his apostles, served as a powerful reminder of the importance of selfless leadership. According to the new radio director, Fray Alejandro Maquera, this act symbolizes service and humility, showing that whoever leads should do so by serving others.

It is an act that symbolizes service and humility, showing that whoever leads should do so by serving others. Just as Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, today humanity also needs to be healed from his wounds and sufferings.

the act of foot washing is a powerful symbol of servant leadership, a concept increasingly relevant in today’s world. Studies show that organizations with leaders who prioritize service and empathy often experience higher employee engagement and productivity. For example, a recent Gallup poll indicated that employees who feel their leaders care about their well-being are substantially more likely to be engaged at work.

Good Friday: Honoring Sacrifice and Love

Good Friday was observed with reverence, as collaborators venerated the Holy Cross, acknowledging the ultimate sacrifice made out of love. in keeping with tradition, images typically veiled in purple throughout Holy Week were gradually unveiled, symbolizing the unveiling of christ’s glory after his suffering.

Holy Saturday: Awaiting the Resurrection

The Holy Saturday vigil commenced with the blessing of a new fire and the lighting of the Paschal Candle, representing the risen Christ’s triumph over darkness. The collaborators renewed their baptismal vows, reaffirming their commitment to their faith. As part of the celebration, collaborators received blessed holy water and candles, symbolizing the light and grace of the Lord. The event concluded with a celebratory toast, marking the anticipation of Easter sunday.

A Call to Reflection and Service

Fray Alejandro Maquera emphasized that Holy Week presents a unique opportunity for individuals to draw closer to God, engage in introspection, and evaluate their contributions to their families and communities. It is indeed a time to reassess priorities and dedicate oneself to acts of love and service towards others.

Holy Week is an opportunity to approach God, to make inner silence and reflect on how each person is responding to the divine call in their role within the family and society. It is a time to evaluate the truly important in life and offer it as an act of love towards others.
