Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle urged the people to reexamine their lifestyle and find out if they might be “wasting too much.”In a statement on Sunday, Tagle said the coronavirus pandemic is an opportune time for people to think things over. Tagle celebrated Mass at the Manila Cathedral last Sunday, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron of ecology. The event also coincided with the closing of the Season of Creation, a month-long period themed “Jubilee for the Earth.”“Let us heed the call of the Season of Creation. Bishop Broderick Pabillo urged the Manila’s parishes to make churches more accessible to the faithful when they pray for their dead. Aside from this, the faithful can also light votive candles for their beloved dead in front of the replica of Michaelangelo’s Pietá.
