But the Vice President reiterated the Holy See’s assurance to the people that “Jesus is present in our many brothers and sisters who today endure sufferings like His Own.”
“As we rededicate ourselves to God and the renewal of our faith, let us also rededicate ourselves to love and respect one another. Let us pray for and help those who suffer,” Robredo said.
“Let us continue to seek the mercy and compassion of the crucified Lord. May His death give us lives that love and serve others,” she added. CBB
