Prayers of Filipinos & Filipinas
2. “LORD God, in your divine mercy, the birth and crucifixion of
your beloved Son, Jesus Christ revealed to us in Latin through Franciscans,
Augustinians, Dominicans, Jesuits, Recollectus; mendicant European men
who learn Tagalog, Bisaya and other dialect, contrasting with conquestadors
and friars that sailed to Cuba, Puerto Rico and Mexico of the same era.
LORD God, we desire to till our land and rebuild our city in the image
of the City of God,2 united in our love for you alone LORD, our God with
all our heart, with all our understanding, with all our strength and for
our love with one another as we love ourself.”
"I was found
by those who were not seeking me; I revealed myself to those who were
not asking for me".
Romans 10:20
3. “LORD God of the lowly, helper of the oppressed, your divine mercy protected us for three centuries with benign assimilation of Spanish, Chinese and native Malay genes. We stand upright today, together with all people of the earth proclaiming that you are God of loving mercy, God of our soul’s salvation and God of the just. Lord God, your invisible hand, opened our independent minds as we stood and spoke for ourselves to save our souls, looked within ourselves to save our physical being, looked after our own
self-interest for the survival of our poor souls and simple hearts. God of power, you ‘lead us from things known to knowledge of the unknown through the light of our active intellect ’3 LORD God, mover of the foundations of the earth, thank you for the spiritual capital inheritance. Our accumulated spiritual capital are blind instruments in our hands through all our societal changes, changes in our living conditions and new destinies, divided, spent, save and bequeath to our heirs.”
"In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
John 1:1
