Let Me Be Your Mouthpiece - By: Sis. Joanne Rico


In preparation for the Holy Mass service sponsored by SFC Cluster A, I practiced the second reading from the sambuhay printout given to us minutes before the holy mass.

The commentators' instruction was that we have to read from the book on the lector's podium, so no need to carry printouts. When I approached the podium for the second reading, the commentator pointed exactly on the part where I'll start reading, and as I began to read, the 2-3 paragraphs in sambuhay became 5-6 paragraphs in the book!

a part of me was in doubt, wanted to stop, and validate with the commentator, whilst, another part talked to the Lord: "Lord, please calm my heart and mind, please remove my doubt and unbelief. This is Your Word. not mine. I'll just be Your mouthpiece." in the end, the book is right all along.

all praises to God!

My CLP Experience Christian Life Program: Unbox Your Faith By Bro Joseph Fruto

“A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stamp, a god-shaped life is a flourishing tree”  -Proverbs 11:28   We are in the world where people give so much avidness to wealth, technology, trend, etc. At some point we forget to nourish our spiritual need. That is to live life with love, humility and gratitude. It may sound impossible to put into action but yes, it is possible with a great faith to God we can outshine the good and surmount the greatest challenge of being Christian and live life with meaning. Before I was invited to join the Christian Life Program (CLP), I know that there is God and I believe in Him. From a family that doesn’t religiously go to church we don’t see it as a duty of being a Christian. So long I don’t do detrimental things I am therefore a good Christian. At the age of 21 I tried my luck abroad, I worked in Saudi hoping to speed up my career and help my family. Being away was a struggle and homesickness was the enemy I fought each and every

Pray Over Workshop By Sis. Maricar Mandani

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.-Romans 8:26-27 How do we pray and how do we pray for others effectively? Most of us would like to pray for others, but to be honest we don't know how and what to pray. We are often filled with good intentions but without enough knowledge to utter, we tend to use the same phrases over and over or we fall into patterns, or sometimes we simply are not good in expressing with words. As part of our preparation for our CLP Talk 9- Receiving the power of the Holy Spirit- the much awaited session for every CLP. We had a PRAY OVER WORKSHOP, held last August 15, 2017. The teaching was led by Tita Lourdes, here we experienced and practiced a pray over session. Learned how to
