Cutud tourists told: Pray and reflect
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga - Don't just watch. Pray and reflect.
That is the message of Ruben Enaje, the man who will be crucified to the cross for the 29th time today, to the spectators of the annual lenten rites in Barangay San Pedro Cutud.
Enaje hopes that the tourists won't leave at once after the real-life cruxifixion reenactment and remember the sufferings of Christ.
He said the people should reflect and join him in prayer.
"Sana naman, hindi lang panonood yung ating pupuntahan dito. Alalahanin din po natin na yung ating pang hesus, siya ay namatay dahil sa pag-ako sa ating mga kasalanan," Enaje told Philstar.com
"Sana po sa araw ng biyernes santo ngayon, gunitain natin iyon nang may pagmamahal sa ating mga kababayan," he added.
For his "panata" this year, Enaje will be praying for world peace, for the country, for President Aquino, and for the relatives of the 44 slain Special Action Force commandos.
