MANILA — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has urged Catholics to make the most of the Holy Week as a time for reflection, emphasizing the importance of embodying kindness and selflessness.
“In this solemn occasion, let us not only seek to unravel the mysteries of our faith but also illuminate the path for others through acts of kindness and selflessness,” Marcos stated in his Holy Week message.
“I pray that we may humbly accept our authentic selves as imperfect beings, for it is by embracing our humanity that we can experience the divine,” he added.
Filipino Catholics commenced the Holy Week by attending Palm Sunday masses and engaging in various activities in different churches.
The President also expressed hope that Catholics would be remembered not for their achievements, but for the light that ignites within everyone’s hearts.
“Let us be the light that shines through the shadows, the love that triumphs over despair, and the hope that radiates to all humankind,” he concluded.
