Whatever works, right?
“The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Episcopal Commission for the Biblical Apostolate (ECBA) will be sending 1,000 copies of Tagalog (their term, not ours) Bibles to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda,” reports Leslie Ann Aquino in the Manila Bulletin. In addition to these Bibles, there will also be 100 copies of children’s Bibles.
The report quoted ECBA executive secretary Dr. Natividad Pagadut, who said, “The distribution of the Bible will hopefully help them to stand up again, to strengthen their faith, and to improve as persons. So it is best to couple it with formation, counseling and to guide them on what to read in the Bible during this time.”
It was also revealed that a group called Rosary for Life also “sent rosaries to Typhoon Yolanda victims to aid them in their spiritual needs.”
