MASS FOR THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH

Dear Friend:

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) recently connected the search for truth with communal action in the face of the Senate inquiry involving Rodolfo Lozada Jr.

The CBCP statement points out: “Truth hurts. Truth liberates. But the truth must be served. The truth will set our country free (John 8:32).” His Eminence, Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal of Cebu echoed this call by appealing to “let the truth come out whatever it is or whoever will be hurt, but the truth must come out.”

Dilaab (a volunteer-driven, faith-impelled, Church-based movement promoting heroic Christian citizenship) supports such call. We believe that the very search for truth already liberates.

Join us then for a Mass for the Search for Truth to be held at the Redemptorist Church on Monday, 18 February 2008 at 7:00 pm. All meaningful action begins with and is informed by prayer. This non-partisan gathering invites all men and women of faith and good will to join in one accord in a cry for truth, justice, and solidarity for an emerging nation.
