DAVAO CITY, Aug. 6, 2018 - The opening of the 4th National Catholic Media Convention of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Social Communications coincided with the 21st Episcopal ordination anniversary of Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles as he celebrated the Holy Eucharist at the San Pedro Cathedral of last August 6, 2018, with Auxiliary Bishop George Rimando and ECSC Chairman and Pasig Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara concelebrating.
There were 45 priests, 7 religious sisters and 85 lay for a total of 137 delegates to this year’s National Catholic Media Convention.
The Archbishop focused on three qualities which could be imbibed in the heart of every Catholic Media practitioner. These are:
First, joy and delight. “To be a media person that would convey to the community a message that is filled with joy and delight is so wonderful,” the archbishop observed.
Second, the ability to articulate and portray the truth in situations of good and evil.
Archbishop Valles said, “The capacity to detect the mysterious presence of evil and good and the hand of God in the situation and articulate it in the community takes great talent using visuals and words and let the people be there in the experience.”
The third quality is a heart that is filled with confidence and hope.
“In any situation, whether it be a difficult situation or a situation of success that would make us forget there’s a God, we must be mindful of the truth. Media people serving the church should remind themselves that in the end, everything will be alright and that good and grace will triumph.” /J. Jopson, ECSC
