Casting the Nets in the Sea of Charity in the Diocese of Cabanatuan

During our mission August 12 to 18, 2026, as Daughters of St. Camillus, we joyfully cast our nets into the Sea of Charity by visiting, accompanying, and caring for the sick in their homes. Through this humble service, we desire to be a living witness to Christ’s compassionate and merciful love for those who are sick, suffering, and in need.

May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen our mission in the Diocese of Cabanatuan. May He touch the hearts of many young people and call forth authentic, generous, and courageous vocations to the Church—young men and women who are willing to follow Christ more closely and dedicate their lives to serving the sick in the spirit and charism of St. Camillus.

We are deeply grateful to Rev. Fr. Ryan Adrian Aguinaldo, Parish Priest of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish, and to all the parishioners for their warm welcome, generous support, and collaboration in this mission. Your kindness and openness have made our pastoral presence a truly joyful and meaningful experience.

May the Lord reward you abundantly for your generosity and bless you, your families, and the entire parish community. May Our Lady of the Holy Rosary and St. Camillus de Lellis continue to accompany and intercede for you, as together we cast our nets into the Sea of Charity.

Daughters of St. Camillus
"Casting the Nets in the Sea of Charity" (cf. Mark 1:16–18; Luke 5:1–11) is a profound expression of their identity, mission, and vocation.

Casting the Nets
To cast the nets means to go out courageously, trusting in Christ, and actively seeking those whom God calls. It is not waiting for people to come, but going to where they are—with compassion, hope, and love. Like the first disciples, the Daughters of St. Camillus respond immediately to Jesus' invitation and become instruments of His mercy.

The Sea of Charity
The "sea" symbolizes the vast world of humanity, especially those who are sick, suffering, lonely, poor, and spiritually wounded. Charity is the love of Christ that moves the Sisters to serve every person with tenderness and dignity. Every hospital, home, parish, and community becomes the "sea" where the Sisters cast the nets of compassionate service.

The Mission of the Daughters of St. Camillus in the Church
The Church entrusts the Daughters of St. Camillus with the mission of making the merciful love of Christ visible through the care of the sick and those who suffer. Following the example of St. Camillus de Lellis, St. Giuseppina Vannini, and Blessed Luigi Tezza, they proclaim the Gospel not only through words but especially through works of mercy. Their presence among the sick is a witness that Christ continues to heal, console, and accompany His people.

Inviting Young People to Follow Christ in the Camillian Way of life.
"Casting the nets" also means reaching out to young people and inviting them to discover God's call. The Sisters accompany them in their search for meaning and help them encounter Jesus, who continues to say, "Come, follow me."
To invite young people in the Camillian spirit is to encourage them:
to fall in love with Christ, the Divine Healer;
to see the face of Jesus in every sick and suffering person;
to embrace a life of prayer, compassion, and joyful service;
to become signs of hope and mercy in today's world;
to discern whether God is calling them to consecrated life as Daughters of St. Camillus.

A Spiritual Reflection:

For the Daughters of St. Camillus, "Casting the Nets in the Sea of Charity" is more than a slogan—it is a way of life. It is a call to leave the safety of the shore, trust in Christ's guidance, and venture into the vast sea of humanity with hearts full of charity. By serving the sick with the love of Christ and inviting young people to share in this mission, they continue the healing ministry of Jesus in the Church, so that His compassion may reach every person in need and new vocations may arise to continue this mission for generations to come.

REST THAT HEALS

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Today’s Sunday Gospel is a gentle, much-needed invitation to pause and take refuge in the Lord.

Let’s be honest: even the most faithful servants, caretakers, and hard workers among us get weary. We get overburdened by the weight of the world. But true rest isn't just about doing nothing or sleeping the day away.

Think of rest like the pauses and silences in a beautiful song. The silence isn't "empty space"—it’s what gives the music its rhythm, its breath, and its beauty. Without the pause, the song is just noise.

In the same way, holy rest restores our internal harmony. It aligns our hearts back with God and heals our exhausted spirits.

Take a breath today. Step away from the noise. Let the Lord give you the rest that truly heals. 🤍

News from April: Philippines
29th National Convention of Vocation Directors in the Philippines. Archdiocese of Jaro, Iloilo,,
April 27–30, 2026 | by Sr. Fernanda FSC

Four days in Jaro to rediscover together the heart of vocation: called, formed, sent. A journey back to what is essential.

We thank Sr. Dina from the Philippines for her valuable participation in the Convention and for sharing this summary with us.

Day 1 – Opening: “Vocation and Mission Generate One Another”
With the solemn Mass at the Cathedral, Midyphil B. Billones, Archbishop of Jaro, officially opened the Convention.
The heart of his homily focused on the relationship between vocation and mission:
“Vocation leads to service, and mission generates new vocations. This is a vital principle for the life of our Church.”

Day 2 – Facilitators of Encounter and Contagious Joy
1. Walking Together – Raul B. Dael, Bishop of Tandag
A vocation promoter is not a “recruiter,” but a facilitator of encounter.
“We speak so much about charism and programs, but too little about Jesus.”
A vocation is born from a personal encounter with God, within the concrete story of every young person.
2. Called to Communion – Jose Allan Dialogo
Today, the vocational crisis is above all a crisis of relationships.
Amid the noise of the world, it becomes difficult to hear God.
But vocation is not escaping crisis — it is entering into it with Christ.
“When one goes through a crisis, vocation becomes stronger.”
3. The Joy that Spreads – Marvyn A. Maceda, Bishop of San Jose de Antique
“If people do not see joy in us, why should they join us?”
Vocations are born through contagion.
Young people join when they see people visibly in love with Christ.
The day concluded with Mass presided over by Bishop Maceda.
Days 3–4 – “Forming Hearts Ready to Be Sent”
Most Reverend Herman Abcede Bishop of Daet, reminded everyone:
Vocation is mission, not the search for comfort.
The journey has three dimensions:
Called → to take responsibility for others.
Formed → to give oneself as Christ did.
Sent → the true test is generosity in mission.
There is a need to move from a mentality of maintenance to a mentality of mission.
To go out and ask:
“Who is being excluded?”
And to go even into the digital peripheries, where young people are searching for meaning.
Three Practical Invitations for Those Accompanying Vocations
Hearts ready to send: cultivate availability and generosity.
Real missionary experience: allow young people to experience mission firsthand from an early age.
Teaching joy: true joy is born from prayer, fraternity, and embracing mission. It is the strongest witness.
“Young people ask: ‘Why are you happy, Father? Why are you joyful, Sister?’ These questions give birth to vocations.”
The Central Message of the Convention
No marketing.
Everything is about encounter, communion, joy, and mission.
A Church that prays on its knees and then rises to go forth.
People in love with Jesus!
This is a beautiful reflection on vocation ministry in the Philippines, emphasizing that authentic vocations grow not from recruitment strategies, but from joyful witness, genuine encounter with Christ, and missionary service.

""Casting the Nets into the Sea of Charity"
(cf. Mark 1:16–18)

Casting the nets evokes Jesus' invitation to His first disciples: "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." It is a call to go forth with courage, leaving behind comfort and security in order to encounter others. It signifies a missionary spirit that actively reaches out to people, especially those who are forgotten, bringing them the hope, love, mercy, and healing of Christ.

The sea symbolizes the vastness of humanity and the countless places where suffering, loneliness, and spiritual hunger are found. It represents the world in all its diversity, where every person is called to experience God's compassionate love.
Casting the nets into the sea of charity means responding generously to Christ's call by extending the ministry of compassionate service to all, especially the sick, the poor, and the most vulnerable. Like the first disciples, we trust in the Lord's invitation and courageously cast our nets into the boundless sea of human need, becoming instruments of His mercy, hope, and healing. Through every act of charity, we proclaim the Gospel not only in words but also through the witness of loving service.

This theme beautifully reflects the missionary charism of the Daughters of St. Camillus, who continue Christ's healing ministry by bringing His compassionate presence to those who suffer.
