Traslacion (Spanish term for transferring procession of the 17th century life-sized image of the Black Nazarene). (photo by GMAnews network) This is a re-enactment of the transferring of the Black Nazarene and is always held on January 9 in the Philippines. Novena in honor of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno start on January 1st every year.
Mourners for Iranian's major general Qasem Soleimani (photo by rfi.fr). A huge crowd of Iranian people turn up for his funeral (January 7).
Look at these 2 photos, there are millions of people and at a glance they may even look the same. The difference is the emotions of the crowd in these photos.
I pray that the US and Iran tension will eventually dissipate. War is not the answer and war is stupid. President Trump acted upon the advised of chief commander Mike Pompeo, which is dangerous and stupid. I hope this is not another Iraq war whom President Bush started. Here in Quiapo Manila, We are showing the world that Prayer is the most important activity of men that helps him solve problems. "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me." "Every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth."(MatT.7:8).
Here's hoping for PEACE
