MANILA - Catholic bishops called on the Filipino faithful Wednesday to pray 10 Hail Marys daily starting Saturday, Aug.15, for healing as the coronavirus pandemic persists.
"We also invite all to a collective prayer action to lift the lockdowns and help heal the nation. God always listens and nothing is impossible with Him," bishops said in a pastoral letter issued Wednesday. While declaring a lockdown was necessary in March, the Church leaders said a "continued endless lockdown" now is "unnecessary given the declining and comparatively insignificant death rates and faulty tests."
"The science and facts have evolved away from the original narrative that caused and surrounded the lockdowns. Be truly independent and fearless. Follow the truth wherever it may lead," the bishops said.
We've been doing it since the start. It helps calm the family.
Prayer and action
Amen
