Duterte's Lenten message: There is victory in enduring sacrifice SemanaSanta2020
MANILA- President Rodrigo Duterte on Maundy Thursday reminded Filipinos of the victory found in enduring sacrifice as Catholics worldwide mark the Holy Week while battling a global health crisis.
"The opportunity for solemn prayer and reflection gives us a magnified view of the victory that is found in enduring sacrifice," he said in his Lenten message. Holy Week activities for this year were canceled as the government told people to stay home, and barred mass gatherings due to the spread of COVID-19.
"Guided by our sense of hope and grace, may we walk with renewed fervor and faith towards our shared path of a brighter and better future for all," he said.
