CFC THEME 2010

Fullness of Life in Christ. "Since you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord, live in union with Him.  Keep your roots deep in Him, build your lives on Him, and become stronger in your faith as you were taught.  And be filled with thanksgiving."  - Colossians 2:6-7

DES-I-I-I-I-I-I-RE:

Introduction to Theology of the Body Gets to the Heart of Life 

When Christopher West apologetically announced at the beginning of the Heart of Life Conference last February 6, 2010 that he had been sick--literally throwing up within the last 24 hours and had not been able to keep anything solid down--and would not be able to give his usual high-energy presentation, I felt a collective slight disappointment from the almost 800 participants; but also a ready willingness to accept what he could give. Oh, were we in for a major treat!
 
 

Using lines from movies and pop songs that spoke of the deepest yearning, aching, longing, DES-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-RE! of the human heart, drum playing speaker Christopher West eloquently unpacked  “An Introduction to the Theology of the Body,” and delivered an unforgettable, astounding presentation. There wasn’t a dull moment as each session built up from the previous one with West never running out of steam;  instead his energy level picked up and we all went along for an incredible, heavenly ride.  He had a fresh arsenal of songs and movie lines that he delivered with spontaneity and perfect timing at every turn. It was hard to believe, as the conference progressed, that he had low-energy levels in the beginning!

Walking & fighting for life, rain or shine!

San Francisco, California - 23 January 2010 : It was a cold, dreary, rainy Saturday morning - the kind that invites you to stay in bed and sleep in, yet I was fully awake by 6:30am and out of the house an hour later, to join what has now become a yearly tradition for me - the Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco. The stormy weather the past week has threatened to dissuade the prolifers from the walk, but as the tens of thousands at the Justin Herman Plaza proved, no rain can deter God's people from expressing their faith and standing up for Life! If anything, I think it has fueled our resolve to show the world that the Prolife movement is not passé. It was amazing!

CFC WORK WITH THE POOR GETS SUPPORT FROM ANCOP USA AND CANADA

January 27, 2010, Couples for Christ, ANCOP Canada and ANCOP USA signed a Memorandum of Agreement in a bid to formalize and concretize ANCOP’s support for CFC’s work with the poor. 

The MOA was signed by members of the CFC International Council and the top officials of ANCOP, namely:  Temy Pangilinan, President of ANCOP Canada; Nick Borja, CFC National Director for Canada; and Ricky Cuenca, Chairman of both ANCOP Canada and ANCOP USA. 

The MOA is a significant breakthrough in CFC’s expanded and more wholistic work with the poor.  Under the MOA, the partnership covers the building of homes for the poor and the implementation of programs on education, health and livelihood. 
Ricky Cuenca hailed the partnership, calling it a “milestone.”  He further said that “this is clear affirmation that the Lord is guiding and directing the CFC community towards this new phase of our work with the poor.”

2010 Conference Prayer

We kneel in adoration of You, our heavenly Father, for creating each one of us in time, and for revealing Yourself and Your love to us through Your Son, Our LORD Jesus Christ, whose Life, Death and Resurrection made us worthy to call You Our Father, and receive the life of the Holy Spirit.  We lift our arms in praise of You, dear Father, for calling us to the community of Couples for Christ. We thank you for giving us this opportunity to serve our brethren in the coming 2010 conferences of CFC and its Family Ministries.  Aware of and being sorry for our sinfulness, we seek Your grace, dear Father, to open our hearts to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, as we go about the preparations for the Conferences, the Lay-Clergy Congress and the ANCOP Summit.  During the times when we do not LOVE ONE ANOTHER as we should, pour on us the gifts of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us,

 

MOVE US FORWARD IN THE STEPS OF YOUR SON, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST so that all our work may be pleasing to You. When we find ourselves confused and unsure of what to do, give us the grace of prayer so that we will only seek to do Your Will, and remind us that everything we do is for Your greater glory. Give us the humility to serve the other first before we seek our own, grounded in the faith that we are doing Your Will, after the example of Your Son, Our LORD Jesus Christ,

 

IN WHOSE FULLNESS WE AIM TO LIVE OUR LIFE, by and with Your grace.  We ask for the intercession of Our Lady, of St Joseph, and  of all the saints and angels in Heaven, that we may glorify You in time and in eternity.  Amen.
