CBCP urges faithful to wear white as prayer for renewal, good governance
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has urged the faithful to wear white every Sunday in October and November and display white ribbons in homes, churches, and public spaces as a prayer for the nation’s renewal amid corruption issues and recent calamities. In a circular issued Saturday, CBCP president Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David said the use of white clothing and ribbons represents the people’s plea “for transparency, accountability, and good governance.” He added that the gesture also expresses “a humble prayer that our nation may be washed clean and renewed in God’s mercy, and spared of further calamities”. The cardinal urged Catholics to join a collective act of penance and prayer following a series of calamities that have recently struck the country, including typhoons, volcanic eruptions, fires, and earthquakes that left communities reeling in loss and uncertainty.

Pope Leo XIV, in his first major document, says the poor evangelize us
The poor … remind us how uncertain and empty our seemingly safe and secure lives may be.” The pontiff quotes his predecessor throughout the document, which was first drafted during the previous pontificate and draws heavily on Pope Francis’ first apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, on the joy of the Gospel. “There are those who say: ‘Our task is to pray and teach sound doctrine’ [and argue] that it is the government’s job to care for [the poor], or that it would be better not to lift them out of their poverty but simply to teach them to work,” he writes. “Almsgiving, however modest, brings a touch of ‘pietas’ [‘piety’] into a society otherwise marked by the frenetic pursuit of personal gain,” he says, adding that, though it will not be the solution to poverty in the world, it will touch our hearts.
