Christ Leads Us To Go Out From

The Earth, Our Home, Is Beginning To Look More And More Like An Immense Pile Of Filth.

We Must Restore Hope To Young People, Help The Old, Be Open To The Future, Spread Love. Be Poor Among The Poor. We Need To Include The Excluded And Preach Peace.

Holy Week Challenges Us To Step Outside Ourselves So As To Attend To The Needs Of Others: Those Who Long For A Sympathetic Ear, Those In Need Of Comfort Or Help. We Should Not Simply Remain In Our Own Secure World, That Of The Ninety-nine Sheep Who Never Strayed From The Fold, But We Should Go Out, With Christ, In Search Of The One Lost Sheep, However Far It May Have Wandered.

The Church In The Philippines Is Called To Acknowledge And Combat The Causes Of The Deeply Rooted Inequality And Injustice Which Mar The Face Of Filipino Society, Plainly Contradicting The Teaching Of Christ.

May We Learn To Say “thank You” To God And To One Another. We Teach Children To Do It, And Then We Forget To Do It Ourselves!
