Publishing At the Service of Catechesis
WLP has also been serving the catechetical ministry in the Philippines through the publication of several catechism, such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church and its Compendium; the Catechism for Filipino Catholics, and its Tagalog version: Katesismo para sa mga Pilipinong Katoliko (both in complete and abridged versions); and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. It has also published numerous encyclicals and apostolic exhortations. It has enriched these documents of the Magisterium with Subject Indexes and other precious Study Aids.
Nurturing Faith and Devotion
WLP has also greatly contributed to the renewal of popular devotions in the Philippines by publishing a New Way of the Cross, The Trail of Light, and a number of pamphlets on the Holy Rosary, the Eucharist and the Holy Shroud. All those have been made available in posters, pamphlets, leaflets, stampitas. WLP also published in comics the lives of various saints such as: Pedro Calungsod, Don Bosco, St. Artemide Zatti, and Damien of Molokai.
Reaching Out to the “Forgotten Ones?
Since Easter 1992, WLP has been engaged in an outreach activity called “The Good News to the Lonely.” With the help of benefactors, more than 600 copies of its periodicals (specifically Word & Life Magazine, Yaman Ng Salita, and Exploring God’s Word) are given – free of charge – to the chaplains of Metro Manila hospitals and more than a dozen prisons nationwide, every two months. Because of this, the sick and the prisoners are given hope and inspiration as they read God’s Word, and are also empowered to spread the Good News in their respective environments using these materials from WLP.
Conquering the Airwaves for the Lord
In cooperation with Word Media Ministry, WLP has also been airing on Radio Veritas (846 kHz) a weekly program entitled “Bisperas sa Veritas” since 2004. The program is broadcast live every Saturday from 5:00 to 6:00 PM with Fr. Bernard Nolasco, SDB as the main anchor. Lay volunteers of WMM join Fr. Bernard for a very interactive reflection on the Sunday readings. The program uses Yaman Ng Salita. The target audience is the Filipino family. The objective is to help people prepare for the Sunday Mass.
Expanding God’s Reach throughout the World
Because of the usefulness of WLP’s products in teaching the faith and in inspiring people, some of its products have already been translated and/or published in other countries like India (The Promise, The Acts of the Apostles), China (Way of the Cross), and the US (Litany of the Sacred Heart).
WLP is also spreading God’s Word online. It has Facebook pages (Word And Life Publications / Wordandlife Ph) and a website (www.wordandlife.org). The Word And Life website is very popular and essential to Filipinos – as well as missionaries – all over the world because from there they can download the Sunday Euchalette for FREE. For many Filipinos overseas (and even non-Filipinos), especially in non-Christian countries, this website is their only lifeline to nurture their faith.
