In recent days, our nation has faced a series of devastating calamities such as typhoons, volcanic eruptions, fires, and earthquakes one after another. In these trying times, we turn to the Lord and plead for His mercy upon our people.
We once again invite everyone to return to God with humble and repentant hearts. Let us renew our commitment to the National Call to Prayer and Public Repentance, observing it every Sunday and, whenever possible, every day until the Solemnity of Christ the King, accompanied by the tolling of church bells. May this serve as our collective Miserere a heartfelt cry for mercy, forgiveness, and renewal as a nation.
As the psalmist prays:
"Cleanse me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." (Psalm 51:9, 12)

These acts are outward signs of our longing for transparency, accountability, and good governance a humble expression of our prayer that our nation may be cleansed, renewed in Godโs mercy, and spared from further calamities.
May our white garments symbolize the purity we seek for both our hearts and our land. Through this season of prayer and repentance, may we find hope, healing, and the restoration of truth, justice, and peace in our common life.
Let us ask the Lord to renew our nation and make each of us instruments of His justice, peace, and mercy.
