"Communique on Philippines in Disaster after Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda"
14th of November 2013.
IOC Movement.
Therefore,
IOC Movement declaring
fasting and abstinence on 15th of November 2013(Friday). This is to be
done in a good will and voluntarily, as it is on behalf of our effected
brothers and sisters Filipino there.
Personally from me the
writer of this Communique, out of my own Official Office, I would like
to express my sincere heart in writing this on behalf of whatever
Position of mine in IOC Movement:
I'm deeply saddened until
when I'm still eating well in here while suddenly I saw all of the
testimonials of the victims be it from various manners of their demise
and also from the survivors themselves; I'm struck straight to a very
core of my heart until I'm crying. I continue eating with my cries all
over my face for I know that I need to stay healthy and well so that
this day will come for me to write this Communique. I didn't want to
hear or perhaps I just simply will ignore every mocking over our
decision to fast and abstinence on behalf of you all my Filipino
brothers and sisters.
I'm currently ill and not able to swallow
food very well because of my throat is swollen, but it can't compares
to what happened to all of you. O how sorrowful this heart of mine for
you all. Only God knows how you all keep calm and continue to work
untiringly to discover and collect the bodies, cover the naked and also to those
who is giving a new and fresh cloth to those covered in mud. O how great is your
holy hands that you give more than you have, how graceful of your deeds
that you sheltering the people that lost their home and their beloved
ones.
Continuing this Communique,
We, the IOC
Movement, declaring Public Prayer of the Holy Rosary for all souls in
All Philippines right now, may they find their missing relatives and
beloved ones, if they are dead, at least they will meet the deceased. O
God, bless all of the coroners so that they might help many Filipinos to
find their beloved one. O God, bless all of the charity workers there
and donators all around the world so that they will be more generous and
more in strength to be our hands and feet in devastated area in
Philippines. May Your Church; the Catholic Church, will shelter them and
provides aid to all of them in there.May our Mother; Blessed Virgin Mary intercedes for our cause and our Communique so that it will reach all other souls to do the same.
Sincerely from our heartiest heart,
(From us the IOC Movement Administrators Board members
on behalf of all the members of IOC Movement and our family and friends):
