MANILA, Philippines – Magsisimula ngayong Sabado, Hunyo 13, sa Manila Cathedral ang anim na buwang paglalakbay sa Pilipinas ng replica image ng Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Ayon kay Archbishop Gilbert Garcera, pangulo ng Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, tatagal ang pilgrimage hanggang Disyembre 12.
“The image shall visit different cathedrals, shrines, and parish churches across the country, and shall also be present during the CBCP 132nd Plenary Assembly on July 3-10, 2026.”
“This visit aims to bring us, Filipinos, closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother.”
Pangungunahan naman ni Cardinal Jose Advincula ang opening Mass alas-3 ng hapon. Bukas para sa paggalang at pagdarasal ang imahe mula alas-7 ng umaga hanggang alas-6 ng gabi.
Mananatili ang imahe sa Manila Cathedral hanggang Hunyo 18.
“Hence, during this pilgrimage, the Act of Consecration and Entrustment to Our Lady of Guadalupe shall be recited in all Masses in the churches to be visited.”
Noong 1935, idineklara ni Pope Pius XI ang Our Lady of Guadalupe bilang “Celestial Patroness of the Philippines.” Noong 2002 naman, kinilala ito ng CBCP bilang “Pro-Life Patroness of the Philippines.” RNT/MND
