Glory and praise to you, God our loving Father for this gift of Independence Day; forgive us for the many times we have taken it for granted, when we waste all opportunities to love and serve our blessed Motherland.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Matthew 5:5
Help us to be "meek" or better, be "gentle to inherit the land" by having that inner strength within us to stand for what is true and just, for what is good and holy by first being a good citizen of this country so hurt, so forgotten by its own people since the beginning.
Dearest Jesus, fill us with encouragement to never lose hope for our country, to inspire more people to love our blessed Motherland by choosing the right persons to lead us, those willing to suffer and sacrifice for the sake of the least and marginalized and most especially, to care for this only country we got you have blessed abundantly up to future generations of Filipinos serving fellow Filipinos. Amen.
