40 MORE DAYS WITH MARY with Trenzy de Leon, Jammie Arevalo and Dianne Arellano - Charism in a Year

40 DAYS WITH JOB with Jam Michaelson and Karlo Marbida - Charism in a Year

For 2010, God brought CFC-FFL to a very challenging book for its theme for the year. This is the book of Job. It is challenging because the book of Job is about the great affliction of a man who was blameless and upright. Having come from the book of Lamentations for the year 2007, when CFC experienced a crisis and then split into two, what could God have in store for His faithful remnant? Now, just as then, God is only manifesting His great love for us. He is doing what is needed in order to make us a holy remnant, a community that He can truly use for His purposes. Learn to understand more the mysterious ways of the Almighty God. * The justice and righteousness of God * The reality of spiritual warfare * The mystery of redemptive suffering * Having true hope, joy and trust in God * The way of the cross Job points us to Jesus. Let us then sit on the ash heap with him, and learn the lessons of Job.

40 DAYS WITH THE POOR with Jayjay Tropicales and Joji Ibuna - Charism in a Year

Do you know that …. * It is a blessing for us to have so many poor people around? * Our so-called “less fortunate” brethren are more fortunate than we are? * The poor man is our brother whom we are to care for? * There is a lot of injustice in the world, and we are among those responsible? * It is our fault if the poor remain poor? * Many rich people are fools? * The poor will make it to heaven but we might not? Do you want to know how …. * Your prayers can be heard by God? * God can be in your debt? * You can be protected from adversity? * You can experience prosperity and honor? * You can be happy even in misfortune? * You can escape hell and make it to heaven? * We can all live in peace? Find out for yourself. Spend these 40 days with the poor.

40 DAYS IN THE STRENGTH OF GOD with JC Arevalo and Gio Arevalo - Charism in a Year

In the year 2011, CFC-FFL is 30 years old. Its theme for the year is “My God is now my strength!” (Isaiah 49:5). It is an imposing theme, with the Lord offering the fullness of His grace and strength for the work beyond the 30 years. With the world in deep darkness, with anti-life and anti-family forces rampaging, with even the Church buffeted from within, there is a great challenge for followers of Christ to stand and be counted, and to give their all for the cause of the Kingdom. Once again CFC-FFL is at the crossroad. With 30 years of experience in doing God’s work, with all the ups and downs, having been purified and restored, will the army that is CFC-FFL go all out for Jesus? Are the brethren willing to give their all, holding nothing back, even their very lives? Will they as God’s servants take hold of the fullness of God’s grace and be made glorious in the sight of the Lord? Be with Jesus over these 40 days and understand more clearly what God’s call to CFC-FFL is. * Walk through the history of CFC by way of the passage on the Servant of the Lord in Isaiah. * Grasp the profound meaning of the strength of God. * Appreciate the importance of the crossroad. * Have a clear understanding of the vision and mission of CFC-FFL. May we choose the right path, and confidently go forth in the very strength of God.

ONE IN CHRIST with Jess Medina - Charism in a Year

The Catholic Church is one, holy and apostolic. Unfortunately, there are too many divisions within the body, many of her members are far from holy, and most are not going forth to do the work of evangelization and mission. But mission is crucial, given the darkness in the world today, which is being overwhelmed by a tsunami of evil, with the Church herself buffeted from all sides, and even from within. God intends His Church to be His light in the world and the salt of the earth. For that to happen, her members must be united, and grow in holiness and apostolic zeal. This is the great challenge, to be one in Christ and one in mission.
