For our brothers and sisters in Mindanao, especially in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, who were hit by tropical storm "Sendong". Let us remember them and pray for them, that the Lord might have mercy on them. Let us also remember those who have perished in the disaster--may the Lord grant them mercy and compassion. May the Lord grant His compassion as well for the survivors, that they rebuild their lives with His help. As we who are safe look forward toward His birth, let us remember those who should be celebrating it as well, but now are in sorrow because of the disaster. May they find comfort in His birth, and that His hope is always present. Above all, our Lord's Nativity is about hope, and we all look forward to that day when there is no more sorrow and suffering, but joy in being one with the Lord.
