             Communication is one of the most essential aspects in the life of the human person which connects him/her to the world.  Without it, the human person would have a hard time to gain facts and information about the world, to interact with the other and to learn new insights about the people and the world.

           The advancement of mass media in the world has gone so far in terms of communication.  It is easy to gain facts and information about the world, to interact with the other and to learn new insights about the people and the world with the use of media.  Communications media have been so widely utilized by human persons with the fact that reliable connectivity is swift enough whereby facts, information, details, insights etc. are already attainable and accessible with the use of media.  Now, the expansions of mass media into the world have been so widely felt by the people.  It seems that everything is constantly changes from time to time because mass media continuously and rapidly advancing in time and space.  These are the insights that I have gained in reading and reflecting Aetatis Novae, a pastoral instruction on Social Communication on the 20^th anniversary of Communio et Progressio which was published on February 22, 1992.  The pastoral instruction gave me an insight on how far the mass media have reached in terms of communication and evangelization on the part of the Church’s concern in the dignity of the human person.

            The Church have been so concerned in terms of the proper usage of media and the proper training of the future priest concerning the instruments of communication.  I realize that the Church have been doing her best with the concern for the dignity of the human person and the evangelization of the word of God throughout the world with the use of communication media.  The Church is persevering to fulfill the mission which is also hoping that the Church’s concerns will be realized by the people of God as it been trying to promulgate it through herself in communications media. In reflecting Aetatis Novae, I noticed something very important as communications is concerned.  According to the Church, the right for the exercise of freedom of communication is not intended only for those who have wealth, political power and who have good educational background.  The right for the exercise of freedom of communications is the right of all.

            In conclusion, I agree what the Church’s position in cultivating and evangelizing mass media in the world.  I am hoping that the Church will no be getting tired on fulfilling her mission to take care the dignity of a person and to promulgate the word of God with the use of media.
