In communion with the Catholic Bishop's Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), we share in the suffering of our brothers and sisters affected by the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Mindanao, especially in Sarangani Province and its neighboring areas.

We entrust to the Lord's love and mercy those who perished, injured, and all families who are in pressing need. In the spirit of solidarity, we are called to be close to them in this time of difficulty.

As our gesture of compassion, a special intention in the Prayer of the Faithful and second collection in all anticipated (June 13) and Sunday masses (June 14) will be included in all our Eucharistic celebrations this weekend. In addition, I also encourage all parishes to use our Caritas boxes (Red Boxes) to augment our financial assitance to the areas affected particulary the Diocese of Marbel and neighboring diocese.

May the Lord continually console our brothers and sisters in their moments of suffering

Greetings of peace!

Mindful of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its profound impact on our migrant brothers and sisters, the Ministri sa mga Migrante of the Diocese of Imus enjoins all parishes and religious communities to intensify pastoral care and solidarity for them and their families at home.

What they endure reminds us of the effects of violence and our constant need for the Lord's gift of forgiveness, transformation, and peace.

I encourage all parishes to offer Mass intentions, prayers, and pastoral accompaniment for our migrants and their families, especially those affected by this crisis.

For our guidance, the Prayer for Migrants in Crisis (English) or the Panalangin para sa mga Migranteng nasa Krisis (Filipino) will be prayed in all masses as our gesture of compassion, solidarity, and trust in God's providence.

Greetings of peace!

The ongoing war in the Middle East, with its tragic toll on human lives and its profound economic repercussions, moves us to reflect on the reality of sin and its moral and social implications.

The Catholic Bishops's Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), in communion with the Holy Pope Leo XIV, enjoins everyone to pray for the peace and ask the Lord for the grace of mercy and forgiveness through the following activities:

1. Prayer vigil for world peace in all parishes and religious commuinities on Saturday, April 11, 2026, which is in spiritual union with the vigil at St. Peter's Basilica. These may take the form of Eucharistic adoration, praying the Holy Rosary, Holy Mass for peace, or other suitable liturgical activities.

2. Observance of the nationwide renewal of the Consecration to the Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 12, 2026. The Prayer of Consecration to the Divine Mercy is to be recited in place of General Intercessions (Prayer of the Faithful)in all masses. This solem act is a profound expression of our trust in the Lord's mercy, especially in these times of uncertainty. As Our Lord revealed to St. Faustina: "I desire that My mercy be worshiped, and I am giving mankind the last hope of salvation, that is, recourse to My mercy" (Diary, 998)

May the Lord, through these spiritual activities, hear our supplications and grant us the grace of forgiveness, peace and transformation.
