This is my mission

by: Lydah B. Onal

December 21, 2008
Late this morning, I felt Jesus was right beside me. I conversed with Him in tears as usual like an old friend and all. I began to cry as I said to Him, I am in pain now, You know that. Physically, my tummy is too heavy, my back is painful… I felt Jesus embracing me and reminding me of what we went through after my second surgery.

Yes, it was I would … Read More

Here’s wishing all of you a Blessed Christmas and a Grace-filled New Year!

When my resignation was officially announced at the National CLC Assembly, there was such an outpouring of appreciation. I realized how the Lord has used me to touch the lives of so many people in a significant way.

Barkada ni Kristo CLC – Cebu

“This year some of the office staff, maintenance people, and students, who had been patiently waiting for me to initiate them, finally got their wish granted. It’s a very enthusiastic group – always looking forward to their weekly meetings. They sing 3 days a week at the 6 P.M. Masses, and get invited to sing at funeral Masses.

    Our spirituality is centered on Christ and we draw strength and inspiration from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (SpEx).With the help of Faith Group Guides provided by CLCP, we live out the Ignatian spirituality in a lay community through daily personal prayer based on Sacred Scripture, discernment through daily review of one's life, regular spiritual direction, active participation in the Eucharist, an active sacramental life and a love for the Mother of God.

    We come together on a regular basis to celebrate community life. We relate to each other with trust and openness, respecting the uniqueness of individuals and supporting one another in mission. Our community life assures a deep sharing by members of our faith and human life.

    Our ordinary way of discovering how best to bring Christ's presence to our world is through apostolic discernment, that is both individual and communal. We respond to the call of Christ from within the world in which we live. Our lay identity and our mission lie in the Church and the world, in order to bring the gospel of salvation to all people and to serve individual persons and society. We render preferential service to the poor, opt to live a simple lifestyle and celebrate family life.
