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.
