“Let’s focus on Jesus Christ”.
That was the call of Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo “Albee” Benitez in his Lenten message posted on his Facebook page on Monday, March 25.
“Lent is a time for self-reflection and spiritual renewal, drawing us closer to His teachings and example,“ Benitez said.
“As we journey through these forty days, let’s embody Christ’s love and compassion by forgiving those who wrong us. Like Jesus forgave in His darkest hour, let’s find strength in forgiveness,” he added.
Benitez said may Lent be “a time of spiritual growth and reconciliation as we follow our merciful Redeemer, Jesus Christ”.*
