God:
We thank You for the wonderful blessings that you've given to us.
We also thank You for the challenges and sufferings because you made us a better person
in each single day of our lives.
As our sister, former Philippine President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino,
or Cory as we call her,
passed away this first day of August, we want You to know that we are sad of her loss.
But despite of her death, we know that she is now in Your Kingdom,
together with the Blessed Virgin Mary
and her husband, the late Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino.
We know that she is now happy there and sincerely praying
for the country where she lived, and for the people whom she served.
God, she was the Philippines' first woman president,
she was the so-called "the simple housewife who reopened the freedom of the Filipino people"
but then, she remains cheerful, calm, and smiling even in the midst of crisis.
she used the power of prayer and the power of rosary to defeat the wickedness of the society.
God, now that she is in Your good hands,
We are hoping that she became the inspiration for those people
who are greed and hopeless.
We are praying that she will be remembered by others in the future
and consider her as Your gift to the Filipino people -
a gift that makes us remember that we are proud to be Filipinos.
All of these we asked through Christ, our Lord, with the guidance of our dear Mama Mary.
AMEN.
CORAZON COJUANGCO AQUINO
11th Philippine President
January 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009
