Most Filipinos look forward to Sunday. This is one day within the week when they can go to church, meet their friends, and most importantly, meet the Lord. Many of our OFWs are so busy, though, that a number of them are unable to go to Church at all. There are also those who really do their best to be in church on time for the Lord's birth and the Lord's Resurrection.
