"The world is noisy because it is in search for love," Fr. Deogracias Camon, parochial vicar of St. Joseph the Worker in EB Magalona, said at a fellowship for media practitioners at the Bacolod Diocesan Center Saturday.

People are gradually becoming noisy because they search for answers to questions that make them restless, Camon said at the affair to mark the 46th World Communication Day on the theme “Silence and Word: Path of Evangelization.”

Media is an influential multimillion industry, and is now part of the human existence to the extent that people cannot do anything without it, he said.

Camon added that social media also allows people to post their feelings and thoughts that they forget to reflect about life.

"In silence, we are able to listen and understand our lives and it allows us to make profound decisions," he said.

Camon also said that with the advent of technology, the internet has become a source of information and it has become too noisy that people forget where it all began, with Jesus.

Media people in their search for truth must also reflect in silence and talk to God because reporting the truth sometimes put their lives in danger, he added.

"In silence and in solitude, we will encounter Jesus," Camon said.

Meanwhile, Fr. Felix Pasquin, Diocesan Commission on Social Communications chairman, said in his homily it is more fun with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Pasquin said that in Jesus, people are in fellowship where there is unity and newness, thus, fun.

He said there is a challenge for people to be drawn together and it is always possible with the Lord.

"With the fellowship, there is strengthening in our unity and there is a renewal in our newness," Pasquin added.*LTG
