Bishop Joel Baylon of Legazpi encouraged Catholics to cling to the theological virtues since two typhoons devastated the central Philippines this month.
According to a Nov. 14 statement, the bishop urged victims to face the disasters of Typhoon Vamco "with new hope and a firm resolve to rise from the ruins and build again."
"And so here we are again, survivors of yet another disaster, called to do what we have always done in the past: filled with faith and trust in a God who does not abandon us, to rise, rebuild and move on," Baylon said.
"Let our cities, towns, barangays, parishes, neighborhoods and especially our families once again be communities of caring and sharing, of mutual trust and living faith."
