O Come, O Come, Emmanuel!

What the Philippines needs

What our country needs now, more than anything else, is Christ. Only he can heal our broken nation. Some put their hope in political movements. Others in the Kalashnikov rifle. Still others in much money. But movements and guns and money do not heal nations. They cannot make broken people whole. We need Christ to restore our hope. We need Christ to help people find joy. Many people have placed their trust in politicians and action stars and hoped for the wrong things, which only served to dampen their hope and extinguish their joy.
