Make A Stand - Caloocan Sur Youth Ministry (OLPPYM)

We love our Church and our country. We love our people and our family. This is the truth why we are all here. We make our stand because this truth is priceless. Time and again we seek for the truth like the treasure hunter in the Gospel. Yet time and again the truth is being taken away from us and is buried, as it were, in confusion. We value truth like a pearl of great price. Like the merchant in our GOSPEL, we are more than willing to put everything and even our lives on the line to protect it. The truth is snatched away from our hands and is sold in exchange for selfish motives.
The treasure of the Church is with us. Jesus, the Truth is our greatest treasure. Hold that treasure firmly in your hands. Protect it with your life. Keep that truth always in your hearts. Don’t throw it away. No one should ever take away the truth of our human rights. Let us stand for the Truth. Let us stand for our country. Let us stand for Jesus.
