Movements of the ship: Sail, carry and reach
In the assuring words of our beloved Pope Francis, “you are not forgotten.” Thanking Apostleship of the Seas-Philippines and Scalabrini Migration Center for this Webinar, let me share with you my reflective message focusing on the movements of the ships.

Pastoral Instructions for All Saints and All Souls Day
September 21, 2020 Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist Circular 2020-33 RE: All Saint’s-All Souls’ Day Reverend Fathers: It is evident and to be expected that like the Lenten and Easter seasons, our observance of All Saints-All Souls Days will be substantially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic that we are going through. The Church in its pilgrim members has always honored with great respect the memory of the dead; and ‘because it is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins‘ she offers her suffrages for them.” Our prayer for them is capable not only of helping them, but also of making their intercession for us effective. This is the faith of the Church, witnessed over the centuries by hosts of martyrs and saints.” In this time of pandemic he urged us pastors to “renew our intention to be witnesses of the Risen One and heralds of a sure hope, which transcends the limits of this world.” We who are unable to visit the cemeteries pray that someday, we can join the saints in heaven.
