Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David of Kalookan, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines
He emphasized that the Holy Year offers an invitation to all believers to deepen their commitment to the faith and the mission of the Church. He also urged Filipinos to live as “witnesses of hope” in a divided and troubled world, noting that hope has the transformative power to change one's perspective.
The cardinal also called on the faithful to follow the guidance of the Synod on Synodality, which aims to promote unity and collaboration across the Church. Just as a boat navigates the waters with the cross as its anchor, the Church must face challenges with a shared commitment to conversion and renewal.
