Philippine Archbishop Ramon Arguelles: Disasters Are God’s Reminder To The People

Here is what Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles thinks about the calamities that hit the Philippines. He said that it should be a reminder for Filipinos not to forget God.

“Those that happened to us, earthquakes, floods, super typhoon, is a reminder to all of us, ” he said via ABS-CBN.

He also believes that the disasters send a message to people.

“It will remind us not to forget life. Our lives is in God’s hands so we better make it meaningful, ” Arguelles said.

He also related the disasters to the “ungodly” laws such as the Reproductive Health (RH) Law.

“Let us not forget him. We removed him eh, like making a law that is not based in God. So when we oppose God, we are in danger.”

However , the archbishop said Filipinos should be thankful for the generosity and unity that people show in the aftermath of the calamities.

“Like the victims, they are closer to God now more than ever and we too as well and hopefully during better times.”

Arguelles said recent calamities should serve as a reminder for people to avoid going against God’s rule.
