“Is it wrong to be happy during Holy Week? Is sadness obligatory during Holy Week? No it is not wrong to be happy during Holy Week.

“Is it wrong to be happy during Holy Week? Is sadness obligatory during Holy Week? No it is not wrong to be happy during Holy Week. There is no law requiring us to put on a sad face this week,” ayon kay Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, dating pangulo ng Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

“But we must be happy this week though quite a different one. It is the happiness that proves holiness. It is the happiness that only Jesus can give,” dagdag pa niya.
