08 November: On the Philippine calendar: Commemoration of the Victims and National Day of Prayer for the Survivors of Typhoon Yolanda (08 November 2013). From Archbishop Socrates Villegas, CBCP president: Most loving Father, one year ago, the fury of Typhoon Yolanda made us experience darkness and the pain of losing everything; it made us understand the meaning of despair. But in the midst of all these, You never have forsaken us. In the most special way, You gifted us with courage and strength to rise again. In the most loving way, You shielded us with mercy and compassion. And you accomplished miracles through those who came to our aid. And as we remember that day today, we thank You for the gift of faith, hope and love. We thank you for bringing us closer to you. We thank you for letting us live another day. Spare our nation from the wrath of nature, as we find ways to care for your Creation. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. +
