In his pastoral letter released on March 20, 2017, His Eminence Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, D.D. invited everyone to join the Way of the Cross, which for this year, is called ‘Penitential Walk for Life’.
“I am inviting all of you to join the Way of the Cross, which for this year, will be called Penitential Walk for Life… Let us join Jesus, who walked with us humbly, justly, and lovingly. Every step we take is a commitment to the value of life that Jesus offers to all, especially the poor and neglected,” Cardinal Tagle said.
This year’s Penitential Walk for Life will be organized by Radio Veritas846, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Sangguniang Laiko, and the Archdiocese of Manila.
In February 18, 2017, thousands of Catholic faithful took part in the “Walk for Life,” an initiative of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Episcopal Commission on the Laity through its lay arm, the Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas at the Quirino Parade Grounds in Rizal Park, Manila. Walk for Life was intended to put forward the advocacy for the care, protection and defense of all human life from conception to natural death, as well as due process for law offenders, humane treatment of criminals and adequate rehabilitation for those involved in drugs.
