00:00It did not rain for those who attended the Misa de Gallo or Christmas Eve Mass in Manila Cathedral.
00:06We have a live report from Vaughn Aquino. Vaughn?
00:12Atom, despite the bad weather,
00:15many Catholic believers still attended the Christmas Eve Mass here in Manila Cathedral.
00:22It was the way to make our personal communities...
00:25The church was full and even outside, there were people praying to be able to attend the Misa de Gallo.
00:31In his homily, Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula of Manila
00:35said that our Lord Jesus Christ is the one who gives hope and strength to us,
00:40despite the challenges in life.
00:42Jesus, who was born in this world, has a name and a family,
00:46is not far from us and we are with him in our journey.
00:50The Christmas Eve Mass is even more special because tonight in Rome,
00:55Pope Francis will formally open the 2025 Jubilee
00:59through the opening of the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter
01:04with the theme of Pilgrims of Hope.
01:07Without Jesus, there is no hope.
01:12His love makes us stronger to face all life's difficulties.
01:20Merry Christmas to all of you!
01:22It's fun, meaningful, especially for us Filipinos
01:27because we are with our family when we worship
01:30because we remember the birth of Jesus.
01:38Atom, the Christmas Eve Mass here in Manila Cathedral
01:41will be held at 8am, 10am, 4pm, and 6pm.
01:45Merry Christmas to you, Atom!
01:47Merry Christmas and thank you very much, Vaughn Aquino!
