This Holy Week invites us to reflect on life's opportunities. Explore in the following article a unique space to connect with your inner self and this week of spiritual communion.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
In this new month that is beginning and particularly with the arrival of Holy Week, it is important to remember that every moment that God is silent in our lives can be an opportunity to reconnect with Him in a special way.
Although we often long for answers and quick solutions to our problems, we must remember that God's silences can be moments of crisis, needs and tribulations that move us to seek Him more and to draw closer to Him in a special and profound way.
Holy Week can be experienced in silence or in the daily search for God in our lives.
It is easy to feel hopeless and misunderstood. However, instead of running away or giving up, we must continue to talk to Him, believing in Him and trusting in His answers, because in spite of the silence, God is still on our side.
"Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God!" Psalm 42:11
We must remember that God does not keep silent to make us despair or annoy us, but because He has reasons that are beyond our understanding, but that leave us with amazing teachings at the right time.
In the midst of His silence, we may be learning something new, improving our relationship with Him, disposing our life more to His service, or growing our faith, among other things.
It is important to remember that our Heavenly Father is at work in our lives all the time, even when we cannot hear His voice. He is always carrying out His perfect plan for our lives and that should be enough to keep believing, to keep hoping and not to despair, because He will never let us down and less in this time of so much need.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3
Even though we may think things have gotten out of control, we must remember that God has everything under control and His mighty hand is in control of everything that is happening in our lives. Take advantage of these days of connection with Holy Week so that you can be present in this celebration in your own personal way. Remember that our Savior is always aware of our situation and will never abandon us.
We must remember that sometimes when we pray, God's answer will simply be temporary silence. Although it is natural to want quick answers and easy solutions, we must be patient and trust that God has a plan for our lives and His timing is perfect.
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." 1 John 5:14
Whenever we experience the love of Holy Week with the Lord in our lives, we should remember that it can be an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones, family members, friends and girlfriends. All those brothers and sisters in the Faith who helped us to move forward.
Although we often desire quick answers, we must trust that God has a perfect plan for our lives and that His silence can be an opportunity to improve our relationship with Him and grow in faith.
We must stay united with the Lord's family who will always help us along with the Glory of God and His blessings in various ways and learnings.
