President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. encouraged the Filipino faithful on Saturday to emulate Virgin Mary’s devotion to serve with love, humility, integrity, and devotion.

The President joined the Filipino nation in observing the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a significant day honoring the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of Jesus Christ and God’s plan for humanity’s redemption.

“As we celebrate this holy feast, I encourage my fellow Catholics and Filipinos to emulate Mary by serving others with compassion and humility, especially as we strive to build the Bagong Pilipinas we desire for our people,” President Marcos said in his message.

“Let us lead and embrace the journey towards holiness and remain connected through the common aspiration to live a life filled with integrity, devotion, and love. I pray that this day brings meaning to all.”

The President underscored the meaning of the feast among Catholics, saying it is an opportunity for all people of faith to reflect on the themes of grace, purity, and devotion.

In the midst of a constantly changing world, the President said religion and faith continue to foster a sense of community and belonging that plays a central role in helping people navigate the complexities of life.

“It offers stability, purpose, and hope that contributes to the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of every Filipino,” he said.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is a celebration by the Catholic community of Mary’s conception without sin.

Even though the feast day occurs in the liturgical season of Advent, which prepares for the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary in the womb of her mother, St. Anne. (PND)
