"I seriously fear for my life and the lives of the faithful. However, today I went out to encourage the faithful. This is my mission. I have prepared a pastoral letter calling on Catholics to stay in Basilan, which is our home, and asking them to remain calm, not to react to violence, and to pray for peace. Today, a procession of people carrying candles as a sign of peace lit the city. Our hope must not die."
