Pastoral Message
“Gratitude for Standing up for Life
and Denouncing All Enemies of the Family during the August 14
Rally”
Circular No. 94-50; Series of 1994
August 22, 1994
The rally and prayer gathering
at Rizal Park last Sunday in defense of human life and our
cherished family values was a true spiritual experience.
Peoples from all over the
country came to stand up for life and denounce all the enemies of the family.
I wish to express my
appreciation and gratitude to all our Catholic Faithful for their wholehearted
response to my call. I know that the priests and the parishioners worked hard
to gather to make the rally the spiritually enriching experience that it was.
Our school teachers and administrators together with countless religious
sisters and brothers, were also in attendance to
express our concern for our children. The Lord knows all the sacrifices that
you had to do just to come to Luneta and be counted. It was so heartwarming.
You are my great price and
source of consolation.
I know that evil cannot
triumph in our land because God is with us and your faith is strong and alive.
