RCAM CIRCULAR || PASTORAL STATEMENT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF MANILA – A CALL FOR VIGILANCE, SOBRIETY AND DISCERNMENT
https://rcam.org/pastoral-statement-of-the-archbishop-of-manila-a-call-for-vigilance-sobriety-and-discernment/“His Eminence Jose F. Cardinal Advincula released a pastoral statement entitled A Call for Vigilance, Sobriety and Discernment. The Cardinal requests that this statement be read in all our Masses on the evening of Saturday (15 November) and the whole day of Sunday (16 November 2025). We are sending a copy of the English and Tagalog versions.
The Cardinal reminds us, “In moments of mass gatherings and public discourse, we do not let emotion prevail over reason. We must always adhere to the rule of law and resist any calls for extra-constitutional means to solve our problems. Our loyalty must be to our country and its democratic principles, not to persons, and certainly not to ambition.”
As disciples of the Lord, we join the entire country in sustained supplication for mercy and renewal through prayer and concrete action for the common good. “In this time when shadows of deceit and corruption cloud our land,” as we pray in our Oratio, we ask the good Lord, “shine upon us Your light that scatters all darkness.
Thank you very much. Let us unite ourselves in prayer.”#RCAMMedia
