Ang pamantayan ng Simbahang Katolika sangayon sa turo ng ating panginoong Hesukristo  tungkol sa ikalimang utos na Huwag kang papatay ay makabase sa pangunahaning pamantayan hindi lamang ng Simbahang Katolika Romana kundi sa pangunahing karapatang pantao na nagpapahayag sa pagpapahalaga sa buhay ng tao. Isang biyaya na ipinagkaloob ng Diyos ay ang buhay na ipinagkaloob ng tao na nagpapahalaga sa buhay mula sa sinapupunan ng Ina sa pinakamaaga nitong katatayuan sa panahon ng paglilihi hanggang sa huling sandali ng kanyang hininga sa lahat ng pagkakataon maliban lamang bilang pagtatangol sa buhay, Kaya nga anu mang uri ng pag dungis sa pagpapahalaga sa buhay sa taliwas sa ika limang utos ng Diyos kasama na rito ang abortifacient, aborsyon, homicide, murder, death penalty, extra-judicial killing at mercy killing, Isang banal na tungkulin ng isang kristiyano na ipagtanggol ang buhay at gawin ang lahat upang maiwasan ito sa anu mang pamamaraan sang ayon sa turo ng ating Panginoong Hes...

Explanation of the logo The circles of people whose hands are intertwined symbolize the communion within the BECs. These communities are linked together by the outline of the cross which signifies the parish as communion of communities. It also includes other faith communities and organizations that are in the parish that – although trans-parochial in nature- are called to actively take part in the life of the parish and BECs. The outline of the cross also symbolizes the vertical and horizontal dimension of communion – communion with the Triune God and with each other.

The sun rays symbolize the light of Christ that shines in the life of the members of parish and these com...

Pastoral Exhortation of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines to open the Year 2017 as the Year of Parishes, Communion of Communities BELOVED people of God: We welcome the year 2017 in our “novena-years” of preparation for the grateful celebration in 2021 of the five hundredth anniversary of the first coming and first receiving among our people of the Gospel of Christ Jesus and of His holy Church. That forthcoming 2021 celebration, recalling the first Mass and first baptisms in our shores, should be a new and joyous explosion in our lives of faith, hope and love throughout our country. Surely such will be our response to the free and gracious gift from the heavenly Father which made the year 1521, for us Christians first of all, a memorable and incredibly significant “new beginning” in our history. As we began this “novena” we raised a banner of hope and renewal for the Church in our land with the motto, “Live Christ, Share Christ!” That is the firm res...

IOANNES PAULUS PP. II REDEMPTORIS MISSIO On the permanent validity of the Church's missionary mandate Blessing Venerable Brothers, Beloved Sons and Daughters, Health and the Apostolic Blessing! INTRODUCTION 1. The mission of Christ the Redeemer, which is entrusted to the Church, is still very far from completion. As the second millennium after Christ's coming draws to an end, an overall view of the human race shows that this mission is still only beginning and that we must commit ourselves wholeheartedly to its service. It is the Spirit who impels us to proclaim the great works of God: "For if I preach the Gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel!" (1 Cor 9: 16) In the name of the whole Church, I sense an urgent duty to repeat this cry of St. Paul . From the beginning of my Pontificate I have chosen to travel to the ends of the earth in order to s...
