MANILA - The Diocese of Maasin in Southern Leyte led Wednesday the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the first Easter Mass in the Philippines by holding a Pontifical Mass at the Magallanes Shrine in Limasawa Island.
Brown was supposed to be present at the event to deliver the homily. But, according to Maasin Bishop Precioso Cantillas, a Department of Foreign Affairs advisory requesting all officials of embassies in the country to restrict travel, precluded him from attending the occasion. In his homily, Cantillas said the faithful can give thanks for the "great gift of faith and Eucharist" by making the effort to renew “our life as faithful disciple of Christ,” making the Holy Mass “as the center of our life” and “by being a Eucharist to others through simple acts of love and mercy for our neighbors.”
