Yes, it was a sublime week for me, and it had a lot to do with Holy Week. Without realizing it I went to church every day, it was not planned, in fact I wanted to know the different architectures of the catholic temples in the city where I live, but it is inevitable not to reflect and get into the spiritual activities when you are so present in it. All the days were very special, but there was a very particular one, Holy Thursday, that day at night I decided to make the traditional tour of the seven temples, and as my wife was sick I went with my best friend, although he is not Catholic.

Sí, fue una semana sublime para mí, y tuvo que ver mucho con la Semana Santa. Sin darme cuenta he asistido a la iglesia todos los días, no fue planificado, de hecho tenía ganas de conocer las distintas arquitecturas de los templos católicos en la ciudad donde vivo, pero es inevitable no reflexionar y adentrarse en las actividades espirituales cuando estás tan presente en ello. Todos los días fueron muy especiales, pero hubo uno muy particular, el Jueves Santo, ese día en la noche decidí hacer el tradicional recorrido de los siete templos, y como mi esposa estaba enferma fui con mi mejor amigo, aunque él no es católico.

That tour of the temples summarizes perfectly what I did all week, and is that since I moved downtown I do not have a parish to attend regularly as I did in my hometown, in fact I hardly go to church because in my work there are almost always concerts on Sundays, so I live in a pleasant search visiting different temples, at some point I will have to find the most sublime place that connects directly with my soul and prayer.

Ese recorrido de los templos resume a perfección lo que hice toda la semana, y es que desde que me mudé al centro no tengo una parroquia a la cual asistir con regularidad como lo hacía en mi ciudad natal, de hecho casi no voy a la iglesia porque en mi trabajo casi siempre hay conciertos los Domingos, así que vivo en una grata búsqueda visitando templos distintos, en algún momento tendré que encontrar el lugar más sublime que conecte directamente con mi alma y la oración.

To do this practice in the center of Caracas the recommendation is to do it on Thursday, after the masses the monument to the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar is placed and we can represent accompany Christ on his way to the crucifixion and death. Generally they close the churches at midnight and open them first thing on Good Friday, but that day is terrible to be in the area, people are crowded and take the churches as museums, although they are performing acts in each of them. If you want to experience a sublime and intimate moment it has to be on Thursday.

Para hacer esta práctica en el centro de Caracas la recomendación es hacerlo el día Jueves, luego de las misas se coloca el monumento al Santísimo Sacramento del Altar y podemos representar acompañar a Cristo en su camino hasta la crucifixión y muerte. Generalmente cierran las iglesias a media noche y las abren a primera hora del Viernes Santo, pero ese día es terrible para estar en la zona, las personas se aglomeran y toman las iglesias como museos, aunque se estén realizando actos en cada una de ellas. Si quieren vivir un momento sublime y de intimidad tiene que ser el Jueves.

I have always been a very religious person and try to keep the traditions, however after the events that have occurred in my life in recent years it is possible that I have moved away a little from the catholic church, and I mean the normal rituals of my religion, however I have been focused on other methods to strengthen the soul. I can connect with God wherever I am, and I am still self discovering and finding peace within myself, but a peace that comes from learning, from strong moments that made a difference in who I was before and who I am now, and it is a path that I am still walking, but I don't mind the catholic church either, I am just no longer mowed down by religions.

<br>

Siempre he sido una persona muy religiosa y que intenta mantener las tradiciones, sin embrago luego de los sucesos que han ocurrido en mi vida los últimos años es posible que me haya alejado un poco de la iglesia católica, y me refiero a los rituales normales de mi religión, sin embargo he estado enfocado en otros métodos para fortalecer el alma. Puedo conectar con Dios donde sea, y es que sigo auto descubriendo y encontrando paz dentro de mí, pero una paz que viene del aprendizaje, de momentos fuertes que marcaron una diferencia en quien era antes y quien soy ahora, y es un camino que sigo transitando, pero tampoco me molesta la iglesia católica, solo ya no estoy segado por religiones.

Maybe there is a difference in me at the end of this week. Today has truly been a day of resurrection, and that is that we are nothing if we don't try to grow ourselves and if we don't learn from our experiences. I don't know if I am religious, although I do do a lot of church practices, but I do know that I am the best version of myself and that I continue to seek to improve, to better myself, and therefore to be better for the world. I think one of the best things I have learned lately is to let everyone discover that inner peace in their own time, for many it is later, for others it is earlier, but once you find yourself there is no turning back, just continue on our personal path to reconnect with the source 🙏

Igual hay una diferencia en mí al final de esta semana. Hoy ha sido un día realmente de resurrección, y es que no somos nada si no intentamos crecer nosotros mismos y si no aprendemos de nuestras experiencias. No sé si soy religioso, aunque sí haga muchas prácticas de la iglesia, pero sí sé que soy la mejor versión de mí mismo y que sigo buscando mejorar, mejorar para mí, y por ende ser mejor para el mundo. Creo que una de las mejores cosas que he aprendido últimamente es dejar que cada quién descubra esa paz interior en su momento, para muchos es más tarde, para otros es más temprano, pero una vez que te encuentras contigo mismo no hay marcha atrás, solo seguir en nuestro camino personal para reencontrarnos con la fuente 🙏
