Panuntunan ng CBCP laban sa COVID-19 sa Holy Week POSTED FEBRUARY 20, 2020 VERITAS TEAM!
Panuntunan ng CBCP laban sa COVID-19 sa Holy Week
Nagpalabas ng karagdagang panuntunan ang Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) sa mga gawain sa kuwaresma at semana santa bilang pag-iingat laban sa pagkalat ng corona virus disease (COVID 19).
Ito rin ay batay sa rekomendasyon ni CBCP – Episcopal Commission on Liturgy Executive Secretary Rev. Fr. Genaro Diwa alinsunod sa kautusan ng World Health Organization.
Sa Miyerkules ng Abo, sa halip na ipahid ito sa noo ng mananampalataya ay ibubudbod na lamang ito sa ulo kasabay ng pag-usal ng mga panalangin batay sa nasasaad sa General Instruction of the Roman Missal.
Paliwanag ng CBCP na sa binyag, pinahiran ng langis sa ulo ang mananampalataya, kung kaya’t ang paglalagay ng abo sa ulo ay tanda ng pagbabalik loob na nakabatay sa lumang tradisyon ng Simbahan.
Sa Biyernes Santo naman ay hinimok ang mananampalataya na mag-genuflect na lamang at mag-bow sa harapan ng krus sa halip na humalik o humawak pa dito.
Nauna nang nagpalabas ng kautusan ang ilang diyosesis tulad ng Caloocan at Cubao bilang pag-iingat sa mamamayan laban sa COVID 19.
Patuloy pa rin ang paalala ng Simbahan sa sa mananampalataya sa pagpapanibago sa buhay kristiyano sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa ng mga corporal works of mercy.
Ang mga ipatutupad ng pag-iingat ng simbahan sa banta ng COVID 19 ay bahagi ng kawanggawa kung saan iniingatan lamang ang kalusugan ng mamamayan.(Norman Dequia)

Cardinal Tagle is now in Vatican!
Cardinal Tagle is now in Vatican
Former Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle has already transferred to Vatican City to take on his new role as prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples or Propaganda Fide.
One photo posted on Facebook shows him looking out a window, as if taking stock of his new home. He was also seen smiling as he poses for photos in his office.
Tagle left for Rome, Italy last Sunday.
He was the Archbishop of Manila from 2011 to 2020 before he was appointed by Pope Francis to Vatican.

Manila, Philippines
Pope Francis has named a caretaker of the Archdiocese of Manila until the appointment of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle’s successor.
Bishop Broderick Pabillo is taking the role as apostolic administrator in an appointment announced in the Vatican on Monday.
The appointment came a day after Cardinal Tagle left Manila to assume his post as Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples in the Vatican.
The Vatican usually appoints an apostolic administrator to temporarily head a diocese when it becomes vacant, especially if special circumstances surround the ecclesial territory.
Pabillo has been serving as auxiliary bishop of Manila since 2006, or since the term of now retired Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales.
Born in Negros Occidental, he was ordained a priest of Salesians of Saint John Bosco on Dec. 8, 1982.
A year after, Pabillo studied in Rome where he obtained his Licentiate Degree in Sacred Scripture at the Pontificum Institutum Biblicum in Rome in 1986.
He held two major positions at the Salesian Theologate Seminary in Parañaque City — as Oeconomus and Professor from 1988 to 1996, and as seminary Rector from 1996 to 1999.
In 1999, Pabillo was incardinated to the Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa, where he served until he became a bishop.
In the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, he currently heads the Commission on the Laity.
He also chaired the bishops’ Commission on Social Action, Justice and Peace and the Commission on Biblical Apostolate.
In Rome, Cardinal Tagle will have his first public appearance during the launching of a book published by Marcianum Press at the Pontifical Urban University on Feb. 25.
He will be joined by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, and Cardinal Fernando Filoni, who recently assumed the post of Grand Master of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher.
Filoni, who served as Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines from 2006 to 2007, is also Tagle’s predecessor at the Propaganda

Philippine Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle celebrated his last Mass as Archbishop of Manila, Sunday morning, before flying out later in the evening to Rome to take up his new mission as Prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.

“Tonight I say goodbye. Work starts for me this week at the Congregation. It was an honour and blessing to have known you and have collaborated with you. I will always treasure my time with you. You can count on my prayers,” the cardinal told the faithful in Manila’s Immaculate Conception Cathedral, February 9.
“Please pray for me and my mission as well. Let us pray for docility to the Holy Spirit as we continue our life as an archdiocese and await the next archbishop. Stay well and joyful,” the 62-year old cardinal added.
At the end of the Mass, Father Reginald Malicdem, the Cardinal’s personal secretary and rector of the Cathedral, unveiled his coat of arms inlaid in the marbled floor of the central nave, a tradition in the cathedral when an archbishop ends his term.
“This is a source of pride and joy for us since you became our archbishop – the 32nd archbishop in the 441 years of the Archdiocese of Manila,” Fr. Malicdem said.
“This signifies that you will be remembered in all the prayers and Masses offered in this cathedral. This is also a sign that you continue to be a clergy of the Archdiocese of Manila. You still belong to us. And this is an assurance that you always have a home in this cathedral,” the priest said.
“Manila Cathedral will miss your voice,” Fr. Malicdem told Tagle. “If you happen to be in Manila, please know that the doors of Manila Cathedral are always open for you, and it will always be a joy for us to tell you ‘welcome home’. Thank you very much Cardinal Chito,” Fr. Malicdem said, using the endearing term for their much-loved archbishop.
441-year-old Manila archdiocese
Manila Archdiocese was established as a diocese by Pope Gregory XIII on February 6, 1579, as the first and mother diocese of the country separating it from the Archdiocese of Mexico. On Thursday, Manila Archdiocese marked its 441st anniversary.
Pope Francis, on December 8, announced Cardinal Tagle as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, the Vatican department that oversees the Catholic Church’s missionary activities worldwide.
Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo takes up the responsibility of Manila Archdiocese until the Pope appoints a new archbishop.
Church’s missionary thrust
Cardinal Tagle is the second Asian to head the important Vatican dicastery, after late Indian Cardinal Ivan Dias who served from 2006 to 2011. The appointment is regarded as reaffirming the Church’s missionary mandate and is highly significant for the continent which is home to two-thirds of the world’s population and where Catholics make up only about 3.3 per cent of the population.
Of his 32 pastoral journeys abroad, Pope Francis has dedicated 4 of them to Asia.

MANILA, Philippines — Over 2.3 million devotees joined the Traslacion or procession of the image of the Black Nazarene as the “andas” or carriage bearing the image stopped in front of the San Sebastian Church for the traditional “Dungaw” on Thursday afternoon.
In a Viber message the Manila Public Information Office (MPIO) said that as of 5:16 p.m., around 2,300,500 Catholic devotees swarmed the image of the Black Nazarene during the “Dungaw” which recreates the scene of the meeting between the suffering Christ and the Virgin Mary.

The MPIO added that around 105,000 devotees were stationed at the San Sebastian Church while 145,000 people were in the Quiapo Church, which is the end of the hours-long procession.
The Traslacion is expected to finish early this year with the help of the “andas” wall, which is a new security measure to keep devotees from blocking the Black Nazarene image.
VENERATION VS. WORSHIP By: 100% Katolikong Pinoy Facebook Page!
VENERATION VS. WORSHIP
Veneration is giving great respect or reverence to something that is sacred or holy. In Catholic teaching, veneration is something that we give to the Saints or the Sacred images like the Nazareno of Quiapo. Veneration is NOT worship.
Worship, on the other hand, is giving adoration that is DUE TO GOD ALONE. In Catholic teaching, the highest form of worship is taking place in the Eucharist where the LORD JESUS HIMSELF is truly present in the form of Bread and Wine.
Therefore, Catholics are NOT IMAGE WORSHIPPERS.
To insist that Catholics are image worshippers is a sin against the commandment: “Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” #NPJN#Traslacion2020
About Sacred Images By: Mon Bandril!
Dear non-Catholic friend,
I honestly appreciate your interest in the bible and of carved images. Thank you.
Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water below.
The verse pertains to the following;
1) of anything that is in heaven above
2) or that is on the earth beneath
3) or that is in the water below.
First, aside from just reading the bible be aware of the culture during the time of Exodus. We have historical artifacts that will tell you what practice is rampant then.
Secondly, the verse actually pertains to animism. Animism from Latin animus meaning “soul, life” is the belief that animals and even plants have live spirits and are treated as gods.
Third;
1) Bubuyog – of anything that is in heaven above
2) Bulate – or that is on the earth beneath
3) Butete – or that is in the water below.
Have you seen such being venerated in our Churches? If you cannot even do a little bit of textual analysis how much more can you understand the rest of scripture? It is written, 2 Peter 3:16 “Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
Fourth, there are numerous verses that images are actually mentioned to be created to adorn the ‘House of God’ and God Himself gave the specific instructions even the details. Does your church follow them?
Fifth, if you read scripture completely aside from images there are instructions for the use of altars, candles and incense. Does your church follow those?
Sixth, Christianity since time immemorial have as proven from artifacts FOUND on excavations from the ACTUAL biblical settings, unearth images and icons.
Seventh, the Exodus verse was during the time of Moses. The Egyptians then were notorious for worshiping carved animals. The verse however serves as a warning and sad to say Catholics heed that warning. Mind you we don’t venerate a T-rex so scrap your mindless misuse of the bible.
Eighth, If the Jews followed God to make images to adorn His temple. Why did Jesus himself adhered to Jewish temple if He does not allow such?
Ninth, are you aware you are actually sinning by ‘bearing false witness’ to another?
Tenth, if you only would try to discern and if you do have the Holy Spirit, man including you is actually a product of God’s graving of His own image and likeness. Unless, you think otherwise and God did something quite wrong.
Now only pride will keep us from actually realizing the truth.
LabYu!
