This article explores the concept of suffering as experienced by Filipinos during the COVID-19 pandemic. It draws inspiration from their narratives about how they faced, managed, and struggled during this tragic event. Their experiences were interpreted and analyzed concerning Filipino culture and tradition using a modified form of thematic analysis. Findings revealed three contextualized themes: sákit (pain), pighati (grief), and pag-asa (hope). These themes are then discussed in the light of John Paul II's Salvifici Doloris. A meaningful pastoral reflection on the basic realities of suffering is formulated to clarify our understanding of such a crisis.
本文探讨了菲律宾人在新冠疫情期间所经历的苦难概念。它从他们关于在这一悲剧事件中如何面对、应对和挣扎的叙述中汲取灵感。运用一种改良形式的主题分析法,结合菲律宾文化和传统对他们的经历进行了解释和分析。研究结果揭示了三个与背景相关的主题:“sákit”(痛苦)、“pighati”(悲痛)和“pag-asa”(希望)。随后,依据约翰·保罗二世的《救赎的痛苦》对这些主题进行了讨论。针对苦难的基本现实进行了有意义的牧灵反思,以阐明我们对这类危机的理解。
