At the conclusion of the Eucharistic celebration, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, formerly the Archbishop of Manila, expressed the gratitude of all Filipinos for the Pope’s gesture of closeness.
His voice filled with emotion, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples told the Pope that when Filipino emigrants miss their grandparents they can always count on the Holy Father’s nearness, as their

Holy Father,
The Filipino migrants in Rome want to express our gratitude to you for leading us in this Eucharistic celebration in thanksgiving for the arrival of the Christian faith in the Philippines five hundred years ago. We bring you the filial love of Filipinos in the 7641 islands of our country. There are more than ten million Filipino migrants living in almost one hundred countries in the world. They are united with us this morning. We treasure your concern for us and for all migrants in Rome, consistently manifested by Your Vicar for the Diocese of Rome, His Eminence Cardinal Angelo de Donatis and the Director of the Diocesan Office Migrantes, Monsignor Pierpaolo Felicolo, and the Chaplain of the Centro Filippino, Fr. Ricky Gente.1

Syria: UNICEF highlights plight of children after a decade of conflict

By Fr. Benedict Mayaki, SJ
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reports that ten years of humanitarian crisis and hostilities in Syria have had a profound effect on the situation of most of the children in the country.
A recent statement from UNICEF notes that about 90 percent of children are in need of humanitarian assistance – a figure that represents a 20 percent increase in the past year alone. The children have been impacted by violence, displacement, severed family ties and lack of access to vital services caused by the massive physical devastation of the country.
The situation in northern Syria is particularly alarming, UNICEF notes. Millions of children are displaced, with many families having fled violence several times. Families are also forced to pay the price for a worsening economy and rising food insecurity. All these challenges are further exacerbated by the ongoing Covid-19 health emergency.

Aleppo vicar: War and sanctions have destroyed Syria's mosaic

AsiaNews.
People “wanted to celebrate not the anniversary of the war” 10 years after its beginning, but “everything is gone wrong on the anniversary of peace and reconciliation”. International sanctions and the US Caesar Act “have made the situation worse.”
“Diesel fuel has not been delivered for quite some time. Very few people got a hundred litres, until they ran out of supplies,” Mgr Abu Khazen said. “Now they have also stopped providing cooking gas, and people have to wait up to 60 days.”
Drivers “have to wait up to two days at a petrol station just to get 20 litres, leaving their car waiting to refuel. Long lines - even hours - are necessary to buy some subsidised bread.”

She also stressed the importance of putting nature at the forefront of the development agenda. "This is a time to work with women with specific policies, in all areas of social development," she said.

'Allah' ruling affirms true meaning of word for Sarawakian Bumis — YPS

KUCHING: The Kuala Lumpur High Court’s ruling allowing non-Muslims to use the word ‘Allah’ has affirmed the feelings, sentiments, and appreciation of the true meaning of the word for all, especially among Sarawakian Bumiputera, said Yayasan Perpaduan Sarawak (YPS) chief executive Datu Aloysius J Dris.
“Salute to our judicial system and process in determining the meaning of the word ‘Allah’. There is no winning or losing in this issue. It just affirms perceptions and sentiments, especially of the people here in Sarawak regardless of their religion.
“To begin with, the usage of the word ‘Allah’ used by Christians has never been an issue in Sarawak as many native people in both Sarawak and Sabah have been using Bahasa Malaysia in church and during worship,” he said in a statement yesterday.
