Please PRAY for strength for our Pro-Life advocates fighting against the deceptively named bill “Reproductive Health” (RH) Bill which was passed in congress and is now raised to the Supreme Court.

We’ve seen the hand of our Lord help us so far to keep the bill from implementation - although political machineries in the senate/congress failed us. We need your prayers.

We need our populace - our industries are labor intensive (agriculture, manufacturing, business process outsourcing, overseas workers, seamen). We do not depend on oil or gold and we don’t own technologies.

We are not overpopulated as the proponents of the bill deceptively proclaim. Our population may be large, but our population density (people per area) is healthier than over 40 countries. We are gifted with many islands rich in natural resources and our coastlines are long (due to our country’s archipelagic nature) which provide great tourism potential and lots of fishing waters compared to other countries.

Human resources are not optimized due to corruption and poor distribution of wealth. Some Filipinos make it to Forbes wealthiest lists and we have some of the world’s largest malls. Reduction is not the answer but optimization of resources. But population reduction seemed to government the easier scapegoat while maintaining their corrupt ways - though it isn’t the solution (as stated above we need productive human beings to keep our economy moving).

This RH Law (since the bill was passed already) has provisions that may be used to promote abortifacient pills in the guise of contraception.

We are the only Catholic-Christian nation in the region. We are also fighting against legalization of divorce. Please pray for us.
 
:gopray:

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

:signofcross:
 
**Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
give aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering,
be with those needing peace, console the lonely,
comfort the lost or hopeless, guard the unborn,
pray for those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go,
show us the way to do the right thing,
protect those who are in danger, and guide us from every evil;
may all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen **

St. Catherine of Sweden, please pray for us.
St. Gianna Beretta Molla, please pray for us.
 
Lord, protect the Philippines from evil and from falling in to the vices approved by many other nations already. Lift them up as a shining light of your love and truth to the world. Have mercy, Lord. Send angels to help. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for the Philippines!
 
My Step-mom is from the Philippians. Her faith & obedience toward God has saved me.

O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong,
so prompt before the Throne of God,
I place in you all my interests and desires.
O St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession
and obtain for me from your Divine Son
all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord;
so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power
I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage
to the most Loving of Fathers.
O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you
and Jesus asleep in your arms.
I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me,
and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls,
pray for us.
Amen

I ask of St Joseph because of how He protects the Church.

Will definitely be praying for the Philippines. I was recently married there and I was so humbled by their spirituality. It’s the only place I’ve ever been where Catholic prayers are broadcast in the mall.

East Timor is also a Catholic country as well.

But the Philippines, land of my birth, has always been in my prayers.

Thank you, Cojuanco for pointing this out. And, my apologies to our Catholic brothers in East Timor. I have known some Catholic Priests and Brothers who have gone on missions to East Timor in the 80’s and we’ve regular fund drives in school to support these missions. How could I forget?!!

Also wish to express my heartfelt thanks for all who shared their prayers for the Philippines. I seldom speak against modernization, but some things have to be pointed out, specially when it involves innocent lives and future. In this case, we are condemning our own souls to an evil culture that sees lives as simply “numbers”.

I pray for my Filipino brothers and sisters; I myself am Filipino.
