The adoption of the new English translation of the Ro- man Missal has been approved by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) during its plenary assembly in January this year. Some parts of familiar responses and prayers have been amended to reflect the true meaning in the original Latin text, the language of the Roman liturgy. In the Introductory Rites, for instance, the response of the faithful “And also with you” to the priest’s greeting “The Lord be with you” has been replaced with “And with your spirit.” © Noli Yamsuan / RCAM Yamsuan © Noli Similar changes have also been introduced in other parts of the Mass, such as the Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites.

  • Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora De La Paz Y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-Century Manila Ma
    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-century Manila Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre Eres mi Madre, plácida Maria; Tú mi vida serás, mi fortaleza; Tú en este fiero mar serás mi guia. -Jose Rizal A la Virgen María, 1880 The Philippine rites of Mary are many and varied, each with its own unique character and homegrown tradition. These range from solemn novena to ecstatic procession, quaint poem-and-flower offering to lilting song and dance, arduous pilgrimage to carefree fiesta. These may take place on land or river, country shrine or city basilica, small community inroad or wide, expansive boulevard. But all are marked by a massive outpouring of affection and tenderness. The cult of Mary in the Philippines has grown from simple folk expression in early times to an imposing display of organized faith in the colonial era, backed by the Church itself and the cabildo or city government (Summers 1998 204), and in more recent times, propped up by a network of wealthy patrons, schools, commercial establishments, and an assortment of civic, artistic and religious organizations. For a people who call themselves in a Marian hymn, “un pueblo amante de María” (a people who love Mary), and who address Mary as “Mama” in such familial terms, these rites represent distinct personal relationships with the Mother of God, hence the variety of expression. This paper focuses on Our Lady of Antipolo, one of the most popular and historic shrines in the country. Our Lady of Antipolo Antipolo is a small town southeast of Manila, situated on a foothill of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Luzon.

  • The Performance of the Christian Faith Under a Populist President: the Case of the Philippine Church Under Duterte
    Ateneo de Manila University Archīum Ateneo Theology Department Faculty Publications Theology Department 8-2020 The Performance of the Christian Faith under a Populist President: The Case of the Philippine Church under Duterte Ruben C. Mendoza Follow this and additional works at: https://archium.ateneo.edu/theology-faculty-pubs Part of the Christianity Commons, and the Political Science Commons The Performance of the Christian Faith under a Populist President: The Case of the Philippine Church under Duterte1 Ruben C. Mendoza¨ Abstract: President Rodrigo Duterte has been consistent in his attacks against the Catholic Church. True to his campaign promise, he has unleashed his brutal “war on drugs” which has resulted to the deaths of thousands of suspected drug dependents and pushers. In response to his criticisms and the excesses of his anti-illegal drugs program, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has issued various pastoral statements in faithfulness to its mission. Nevertheless, the majority of Filipinos continue to support Duterte and his anti-illegal drugs stance. In this context, the call of Pope Francis’ for the church to become a “field hospital” becomes all the more pastorally relevant. Keywords: War on drugs • Catholic Church • Field hospital • Human rights • President Rodrigo Duterte • Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Introduction The Philippines has never had a chief executive in its history who has had no qualms in attacking the church and who in the process has not lost any political capital. ¨ Dr. Ruben C. Mendoza, PhD, STD, is an associate professor and the chair of the Department of Theology, Ateneo de Manila University.

  • Abp. Soc Calls Priests to Be 'Real Witnesses Amid Threats
    CBCP APRIL 15 - 28, 2019, VOL 23, NO.Monitor 08 [email protected] PROTAGONIST OF TRUTH, PROMOTER OF PEACE Abp. Soc calls priests to be ‘real witnesses amid threats By Roy Lagarde PRIESTS are called to face “these dreary times of darkness” by being “real witnesses” amid “an angry disbelieving society,” a church official said on Holy Thursday. Those priests, said Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen- Dagupan, should also not be afraid to die or be killed for the Lord. “Brother priests, make friends with death. Let death not threaten you,” Villegas said in his Chrism Mass homily at the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Dagupan City. “The call to the priesthood is a call to die. It is clear. There is no priesthood without victimhood,” he said. To drive his point, the archbishop said that there’s nothing surprising with priests being threatened with death. In the first place, he said that priests should not have accepted ordination if they were afraid to die or be killed. “Death is not a threat. It is our destiny,” said Villegas, who is also a former president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines. Archbishop Socrates Villegas embraces a priest as he celebrates the Chrism Mass at the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Dagupan City April 18.

    02 SEPTEMBER 2020, WEDNESDAY Headline STRATEGIC September 02, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article ‘Discard face masks properly to minimize high risk of contamination’ — DENR Published September 1, 2020, 2:50 PM by Ellalyn De Vera-Ruiz The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is appealing to Metro Manila residents to properly discard used face masks and gloves as these pose a high risk of disease contamination among those retrieving these hazardous waste materials from rivers and coasts. (Glyn Kirk/ AFP FILE PHOTO/ MANILA BULLETIN) “Doing cleanup and maintenance activities really has become a challenge with the pandemic but we have to strive now more than ever in doing cleanups as disease-causing germs and viruses thrive in a dirty environment,” DENR-National Capital Region (NCR) Regional Executive Director Jacqueline Caancan said in a social media post. She pointed out that improperly disposed face masks and gloves used to protect against the coronavirus pose a risk to the health of workers cleaning Metro Manila’s waterways. The risk from cleaning up the esteros is “high enough already when they go down our rivers and coasts to retrieve improperly disposed waste,” she said adding “surgical masks and gloves that end up in our waterways only adds to these risks.” Caancan advised Metro Manila residents to practice separating and labeling household medical wastes “to avoid cross-contamination.” “Not only do we have to segregate biodegradable from recyclables and residuals, but special and hazardous wastes too,” she added. Last August 27, Caancan along with DENR-NCR Assistant Regional Director for Technical Services Ignacio Almira Jr., Conservation and Development Chief Aida Esguerra, and South Field Office Deputy Chief Environment Officer Bobby Tagapan, inspected the water outfalls of Manila Bay in Pasay City and Parañaque City to assess and strategize how to safely conduct cleanup activities with its partner-organizations.
