Cardinal David calls for national day of prayer and public repentance on Oct. 7, 2025
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has urged Filipinos to participate in a National Day of Prayer and Public Repentance on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, the Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
This initiative is a response to the recent calamities, including an earthquake in Cebu that registered 71 deaths and affected over 455,000 individuals, and pervasive corruption.
Prayers are scheduled to take place in churches, chapels, and homes every Sunday until the Feast of Christ the King on November 23.
CBCP President Bishop Pablo Virgilio Cardinal David emphasized that this act of national contrition is a step in the Church's synodality journey, promoting unity, listening, humility, and hope among the faithful.
He added that the prayers are a sustained supplication for mercy and renewal, seeking healing and renewal for the nation through the intercession of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
