As the BARMM elections came to a close yesterday, the Ateneo de Davao University community gathered in prayer and solidarity for the people of Bangsamoro.

We pray for a peaceful conclusion to the electoral process, for truth and integrity as votes are counted, and for the voices and choices of the Bangsamoro people to be respected.

We pray for those who will be entrusted with leadership—that they may lead with humility, courage, compassion, and a deep commitment to the common good.

As a university community in Mindanao, we remain committed to walking with our brothers and sisters in Bangsamoro in the continuing journey toward peace, justice, reconciliation, and inclusive development.

Our prayer does not end with the elections. Solidarity is a continuing commitment.

May peace prevail.
May justice flourish.
May Bangsamoro thrive.

The September 14 election is the first regular BARMM parliamentary election, with the polls involving more than two million registered voters across the region.

1. Prepare
At around 8:00 AM, participants may gather in their respective offices or workspaces.
Place one candle in a safe location.
(If candles are not practical in an office, an LED/electric candle may be used.)

2. Begin in silence
Take a moment of silence for about 30 seconds.
Invite everyone to reflect on the people of Bangsamoro—families, communities, voters, candidates, public servants, peacebuilders, and especially those who have worked for peace and justice in Mindanao.

3. Light the candle
The facilitator may say:
"We light this candle as a sign of our solidarity with the people of Bangsamoro."
"May this light represent our shared hope for peace, truth, justice, responsible participation, and a future where every community can flourish."

4. A Prayer for Bangsamoro-For Peace, Discernment, and the Common Good

5. Moment of silence
After the prayer, keep the candle burning for a short moment of silence.
You could invite participants to silently offer one personal intention for Bangsamoro.

6. Close
The facilitator may say:
"May this light remind us that solidarity is not merely something we say—it is something we live. May we continue to walk with the people of Bangsamoro in the pursuit of peace, justice, dignity, and the common good."

Our light. Our prayer. Our solidarity.
