"*Kung tutuusin, bilang bugtong na Anak ng Diyos, pwede namang iniwasan na lang niya ang lahat ng mga pasakit ngunit batid ni Hesukristo ang kanyang dakilang misyon. Bukal sa puso niyang inialay ang kanyang sarili para matupad ang kalooban ng Diyos. Ang pagmamahal na ipinamalas niya ang naging tulay sa ating kaligtasan,*" Aquino said, according to ABS-CBN News.
