MANILA, Philippines – HINIKAYAT ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang mga Filipino Muslim na maging “vessels of kindness, understanding, and empowerment” habang ginugunita ang holy month ng Ramadan na magsisimula sa Huwebes, Pebrero 19.
Sa naging mensahe ni Pangulong Marcos, sinabi nito na ang dawn-to-dusk fasting at panalangin ang pambungad at panimula ng mga Filipino Muslim sa presensiya ni Allah sa pamamagitan ng “cultivating discipline, humility, and compassion,” habang mas lumalapit sa kahalagahan ng pagpapala, katarungan, at serbisyo.
“During these blessed hours, may you find opportunity to reinvigorate your solidarity and rekindle your shared concern for one another. Continue becoming a vessel of kindness, understanding, and empowerment throughout this sacred month and beyond,” ang sinabi ng Pangulo.
“Rest assured that I stand with you in prayer and goodwill for the flourishing of your communities, loved ones, and families,” dagdag na wika nito.
Binigyang-diin ni Pangulong Marcos ang holy month bilang sagradong panahon ng pagbabago, “where spiritual growth bears fruit not only in our own lives, but also in the lives of those entrusted to our care.”
“May your faith be deepened and your commitment be renewed to live out His teachings. May your sacrifices, reflections, and encounters strengthen you to embody His boundless love for humanity, especially for the least among our brethren,” aniya pa rin.
“Let every fast be a moment of self-emptying that fills your personal and spiritual hunger,” ang sinabi pa rin ng Pangulo.
