May the deepest spiritual values of the Filipino people continue to find expression in your efforts to provide your fellow citizens with an integral human development. In this way, each person will be able to fulfill his or her potential, and thus contribute wisely and well to the future of this country.

In this Year of Faith, we pray to the Lord that the Church may always be a true family that brings God’s love to everyone.
