Philippines shaken by quakes

Dig deep in your heart for more prayers. Sister Beverly shares a message from Salvatorian Sister Alona in Philippines, site of multiple earthquakes on Tuesday, April 23.

Dear Sr. Beverly,

Good Morning!

We are all safe.  Last Monday there was an earthquake in Luzon including Manila, last Tuesday was in Visayas, yesterday was in Mindanao.  It is happening around the Philippines.  We are praying that it will not be strong that will kill more people and damage properties.  The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has warned all the people especially living in Metro Manila to be always prepared because there might be a strong earthquake that will come.  They call it “The Big One” with a magnitude of 8, but they don’t know also when it will happen.  The people were asked and encouraged to pray every day that God will protect us from all dangers especially from this earthquake. At the moment we do our responsibilities as it is. Sisters go to their respective apostolate for they are needed to be with the people. We believe that God will protect His people.

Thank you for all your prayers. Please continue to pray for the safety of all the people. God Bless.

Loving greetings,
Sr. Alona
