MANILA Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila has asked the faithful who attended the “Simbang Gabi” (dawn mass) at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, to remember the people in Mindanao affected by Sunday’s strong earthquake.

“Let us remember our brothers and sisters in Mindanao who again experienced an earthquake stronger than the previous one,” he told those who attended the first day of the Simbang Gabi at the cathedral, Monday.

His Eminence said he already sent a message to the bishops in Cotabato, Davao, Davao del Sur especially Digos which is the most affected.

Tagle was informed by the bishop there that a priest was hurt in the incident as he was visiting a far flung area when the earthquake happened.

He also recalled the bishop telling him this, “Chito, its already Simbang Gabi tomorrow and the people will again showcase their faith despite the earthquake.”

“That is the essence of ‘Simbang Gabi’, faith,” said Tagle.

“We have faith and we believe that somebody will come, Jesus our savior,” he added.
