PRESIDENT Marcos on Monday called on the people to face challenges with faith and grace and find strength in unity and compassion. In his message for the Feast of Black Nazarene , Marcos said, “puts into our mind the strength that allows us to find harmony in our faith as a people.” Marcos said the heavy cross carried by the Black Nazarene should remind Filipinos on how they can bear their burden with the help of the Almighty.
“It also speaks of the immense power and compassion of God who walks with us and hears our prayers, especially in our time of need,” he said. In a separate statement posted on social media page, Marcos pointed out that “no burden is too heavy when carried with faith.”“May this day fortify every devotee who joins the procession-whether in person or in spirit-a deeper bond with the Almighty and a higher purpose in serving others,” Marcos said. “I am confident that we are able to epitomize the example of the Nazarene in our daily works in this world as hope bearers, peacemaker and builders of society who will change their respective communities with one good deed of a time.” He also called on the faithful to not only focus on their spiritual journeys but to actively work towards serving their communities, echoing the example set by the Nazarene. “This colossal gathering of Filipinos on the streets of Manila is a testament to our people’s solidarity and camaraderie,” Marcos said. His hope is for every devotee in the procession—whether in person or in spirit—to have a deeper bond with the Almighty and a higher purpose in serving others. “I am confident that we are able to epitomize the example of the Nazarene in our daily walks in this world as hope bearers, peacemakers, and builders of society who will change their respective communities with one good deed at a time,” he said
