As part of its Holy Week commemoration, the Nueva
Ecija-based Army Artillery Regiment (AAR) staged its own version of the
"Via Crucis" or Station of the Cross, AAR
spokesperson Maj. Rosa Ma. Christina Rosete-Manuel said in a statement on
Wednesday.
She said that artillery officers and enlisted personnel
along with their dependents and some civilians joined in the "Via
Crucis" which was staged at the AAR compound at Fort Magsaysay at 2 p.m.
on Palm Sunday, March 29.
“This is a narration of the final hours in the life of Jesus
Christ on earth that continues to provide spiritual conviction for every
Christian and application to the lives of our soldiers,” AAR
military chaplain Capt. Ferdinand H. Abuyan said.
“Likewise, the 'Via Crucis' serves as a stark reminder to
our soldiers of the humble manner in which Jesus was willing to set aside any
privilege of deity in order to provide a path to salvation through His
sacrifices," he added.
Meanwhile, AAR head Brig.
Gen. Leandro A. Loyao III said the activity was part of the yearly program of
his unit.
“We consider the spiritual needs of our soldiers and this
season of Lent is the time where we can also renew our commitment in serving
the people and internalize discipline through various ways of fasting –- from all
excesses and desires as a human being,” he added.
