"The faith that assures me that creation and history are in God's hands and these hands transform death into life, hatred into forgiveness and darkness into life — this gives me hope. The faith that makes me see how people truly cooperate with God's action in the world through sincere love gives me hope."
—Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila, Philippines
