Today the Catholic Church canonized the second
Filipino Saint at the Vatican. So much had been written about the 17 year-old
teenage catechists from the Visayas. His youthful “Yes” to the mission has led
to his death and yet hundred years after, his inspiring story did not die. His
courageous witness to his faith is something to be modeled upon by today’s
generation of young Catholics.
Saint Pedro’s witnessing compels us to re-examine how
we live out our faith and not just talk about it. This year of faith, his life’s
example excites us young people to witness to other young people, Christ whose
love never fails. Young evangelizing young! May his seeds be planted in our
hearts so we can carry on the mission of Christ.
Saint Pedro Calungsod, pray for us. Amen.
