Sub Tuum Praesidium
We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
40th anniversary of the 1986 Rosary Revolution 25 February
Bishops stress remembrance, response to challenges on the Rosary Revolution’s 40th anniversary
by Santosh Digal
PIME | Manila, Philippines—The Catholic bishops of the Philippines have issued an appeal to their fellow countrymen and women, urging them to remember, repent, and build a better future by fighting endemic evils like corruption. This comes as the country is set to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1986 People Power uprising or Rosary Revolution on 25 February, which ended the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
Commemorating 40 years since that event that marked the modern history of the nation, Church leaders now call for “three sacred duties: to remember, to repent, to respond – that we may welcome the spirit of that miracle and bring us to a better future.”
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
