President Ferdinand Marcos on Easter Sunday urged the public to draw inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ to overcome personal and spiritual challenges.
“I join all Filipino Christians across the country and around the world as we solemnly celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ this Easter Sunday,” the President said in a message.
“Let us draw inspiration from this important narrative as we overcome our personal and spiritual challenges,” he added.
He reminded Filipinos to live a ‘Christ-like’ life by providing blessings to others, especially those who are in need.
“This auspicious occasion reminds us that, while faith, devotion, and sacrifice are, by themselves, worthy ideals to aspire for, they also yield great rewards both here on earth and the hereafter,” the President said.
“May this day also excite our hearts to live a Christ-like life, especially in sharing our blessings in whatever form to the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden,” he added.
Moreover, the chief executive called on the public to pray for the administration in its pursuit of a united country.
“Finally, let us unite in praying for the continued guidance of God Almighty in our collective pursuit to build the Bagong Pilipinas that we are destined to achieve,” President Marcos said.
“I wish everyone a happy and blessed Easter Sunday,” he concluded.
