Isang Pastoral na Pahayag ng CBCP tungkol sa Kapayapaan sa Isang Sugatang Mundo

“Kapayapaan ang iiwan ko sa inyo. Ang aking kapayapaan ang ibinibigay ko sa inyo.” (Jn 14:27)

Minamahal na Bayan ng Diyos,

Biyaya at kapayapaan sa ating Panginoong Muling Nabuhay!

Taglay ang mga pusong nabibigatan ng lungkot at pag-aalala, kami, ang mga obispo ng Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), ay nakikiisa sa Santo Papa at sa pangkalahatang Simbahan sa pananalangin para sa kapayapaan sa gitna ng nagpapatuloy na mga digmaan at tunggalian sa Gitnang Silangan at sa buong mundo.

Ang digmaan ay palaging isang trahedya. Sa likod ng mga ulo ng balita at mga kalkulasyong militar ay mga buhay ng tao: mga batang nawalan ng kaligtasan, mga pamilyang nagkahiwalay, mga komunidad na nawasak, at hindi mabilang na mga inosenteng tao na naiwan upang magdusa. Ipinapahayag namin nang malinaw na ang bawat buhay ng tao ay banal at ang bawat tao ay may dignidad na bigay ng Diyos. Ang karahasan, galit, terorismo, at paghihiganti ay lalo lamang nagpapalalim ng pagkakawatak-watak at nagpapahaba ng pagdurusa.

Ang Sigaw ng Sangkatauhan, Sigaw ng Daigdig, Sigaw ng Sambayanang Pilipino

Tulad ng paalala sa atin ni Papa Leo XIV, “Hindi tayo maaaring manatiling tahimik sa harap ng pagdurusa ng napakaraming tao, mga inosenteng biktima ng mga tunggaling ito. Ang anumang nakasasama sa kanila ay nakasasama sa buong sangkatauhan” (Angelus Address, Vatican City, March 22, 2026). Sinusugatan din ng digmaan ang ating iisang tahanan. Ang pagkawasak na dulot ng mga bomba at pakikidigma ay nag-iiwan ng pangmatagalang pinsala sa kapaligiran, na nagpaparumi sa hangin, tubig, at lupa, at inilalagay sa panganib ang mga susunod na henerasyon. Kaya, ang digmaan ay nagiging parehong sigaw ng sangkatauhan at sigaw ng daigdig.

Ang krisis na ito ay umaabot din sa buhay ng mga Pilipino. Maraming Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) at ang kanilang mga pamilya ang nakararanas ng takot at kawalan ng katiyakan, habang ang tumataas na presyo ng gasolina at mga presyur sa ekonomiya ay nagpapabigat sa mahihirap at mahihina.

Para sa mga Pinuno ng mga Bansa at mga Mamamayan: Nakikiusap kami sa mga pinuno ng mga bansa na piliin ang pag-uusap kaysa karahasan at ang kapayapaan kaysa pananalakay. Hinihikayat namin ang mga relihiyosong pamayanan na magsilbing mga tulay ng pagkakapatiran at pag-unawa, at hinihikayat namin ang mga g**o at mga pinunong sibiko na itaguyod ang katotohanan, dignidad ng tao, at ang kabutihang panlahat.

Isang Panawagan sa Moral na Pagkilatis: Nanawagan kami sa lahat ng mananampalataya na iwasan ang galit, maling impormasyon, at pagkakahati-hati ng kaisipan. Nawa’y mahubog ang ating isip at puso ayon sa Ebanghelyo ni Hesukristo, hindi ng galit at propaganda. Bilang mga Kristiyano, hindi natin pinupuri ang digmaan ni kinokondena ang buong mga bayan at relihiyon; sa halip, tinatawag tayo sa katotohanan, malasakit, katarungan, at pagkakasundo.

Bilang tugon ng Simbahan, tinatawagan namin ang lahat ng diyosesis, parokya, relihiyosong komunidad, paaralan, at mga organisasyong laiko na:

𝟭. 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗮, 𝗘𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗼, 𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆𝗮.

𝟮. 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗢𝗙𝗪 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗸𝘁𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗼𝗻𝗸𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮.

𝟯.𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗴𝘂𝘆𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴-𝘂𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗽 (𝗱𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼) 𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗴-𝘂𝗻𝗮𝘄𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻, 𝗸𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮, 𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗶𝘆𝗼𝗻.

Kahit sa madidilim na panahon, ang mga Kristiyano ay hindi sumusuko sa kawalan ng pag-asa. Napagtagumpayan ng Kristong Muling Nabuhay ang p**t sa pamamagitan ng Krus at nagwagi laban sa kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang Muling Pagkabuhay. Ang kapayapaan ay nagiging posible kapag ang mga puso ay nagbabalik-loob, ang katarungan ay isinusulong, at ang sangkatauhan ay muling natutong mamuhay bilang isang pamilya sa ilalim ng Diyos.

Hayaang ang bawat parokya ay maging isang santuwaryo ng panalangin, ang bawat pamilya ay maging isang duyan ng kapayapaan, at ang bawat Kristiyano ay maging saksi ng awa at pakikipagkasundo.

Nawa ang Mahal na Birheng Maria, Reyna ng Kapayapaan at Ina ng lahat ng mga mamamayan, ay manalangin para sa atin sa Diyos at gabayan ang sangkatauhan tungo sa pangmatagalang kapayapaan. Amen.

The Holy Spirit does not come empty-handed. He brings gifts that strengthen, enlighten and transform the Christian life. 🕊️
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are not abstract ideas, but graces that help us become more docile to God’s will and more faithful witnesses of the Gospel.

The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit:

1️⃣ Wisdom
Helps us see life through God’s eyes and value what leads us to Him.

2️⃣ Understanding
Helps us grasp the truths of the faith more deeply and allow God’s Word to enter our hearts.

3️⃣ Counsel
Guides us in our choices and helps us distinguish good from evil, especially in difficult moments.

4️⃣ Fortitude
Gives us courage, perseverance and strength to remain faithful in trials.

5️⃣ Knowledge
Helps us recognize God’s presence in creation, in our lives and in His plan for us.

6️⃣ Piety
Opens our hearts to love God as Father and to live with charity toward others.

7️⃣ Fear of the Lord
Is not terror, but reverence, trust and the desire not to turn away from God.

When we open our hearts to these gifts, the Holy Spirit renews us from within and helps us live as true disciples of Christ.
Come, Holy Spirit.

Fill our hearts and guide us on the path to Heaven. 🙏

One of the most powerful conversion stories of our time is that of Dr. Scott Hahn — a former Presbyterian minister, theology professor, and passionate anti-Catholic who set out to “save” Catholics from what he believed was a man-made, unbiblical religion.

The turning point came in 1986. While teaching at Marquette University, he slipped into a quiet weekday Mass in the basement chapel, notebook ready to list all the “errors.” Instead, the liturgy overwhelmed him.

As the priest elevated the Host and said, “Behold the Lamb of God… Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb,” Scott was stunned. In that moment, he felt transported into the Book of Revelation. He saw the heavenly worship he had studied — the Lamb standing as if slain, the Wedding Feast of the Lamb — now happening right before his eyes on earth. He wanted to stand and shout, “Why are we all Protestant? This is the worship of Heaven!”

That single Holy Mass became the decisive moment. What he had read for years in the Bible suddenly came alive. On Easter Vigil 1986, Scott was received into the Catholic Church.

His wife Kimberly later followed, and they shared their journey in the bestselling book Rome Sweet Home.

Today, Dr. Scott Hahn is a world-renowned biblical scholar who teaches that the Mass is truly Heaven on earth — the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

🙏 The Mass didn’t just change Scott’s mind — it captured his heart through a living encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist.
