"As we prepare for the celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ through the unique Filipino tradition of Simbang Gabi, may the faith and devotion of Mary, the Mother of God and the Mother of the Filipino nation, inspire us to receive in our hearts and home God’s surpassing Aguinaldo in the person of Jesus Christ. Let us keep her company through prayer and good works, so that she may also keep us company as we journey toward the fulfilment of God’s promise of peace in our nation and in the world."
