HOLY WEEK, HOLY PAIN?

This is my 49Th year to celebrate the Holy Week. The week to remember the agony and pains, insults "Death of Jesus"; the carrying of the cross and His crucifixion. That is why I always hear to other people ... that when someone is experiencing pains , in any parts of the body... as if you're being crucified. Yes, anything pains, problems is now being connected or relate it to the crucifixion. In short the pains that anybody is experiencing right now, out of any sickness, any problems is said to be our part of the crucifixion in our life? If it so, we are experiencing the Holy Week in our life. Thus, the ordinary pains or any pains to talk about is now being spiritualized to the sense that we can called those pains as "Holy Pain" ? The being in-one with Jesus who suffered so many pains until He died on the cross at the hill called Golgotha. I wrote this blog in line with this event... Holy Week today, the Good Friday. This is what came into my mind. because of the pain I am experiencing right now... I am suffering in pain from my arthritis on my two feet. My toes.... yes, it's too painful... everyday... it seems it's incurable.... i too can say to my self.. I'm, in crucifixion everyday because of it. There are times when I cry because of the pain. I started to asked myself, Is it the same pain that Jesus encountered and experienced ? I will answer.. NO. because I cannot compare myself to Jesus who is my Lord and My God. Yes I'm suffering from this pain everyday, but it is not good and right to connect it to Jesus' pain experienced. Maybe in consolation to myself to ease a bit from the pain.. is that, to think and put myself into the "being with" or "one with" ? the sharing of pains with Jesus.
