January 17-19, 2014
The Mission Core Group (MCG) of Couples For Christ (CFC) annual retreat was held again in Camp John Hay, Baguio City. This year is the 33rd year of CFC which also marks the 3rd year that we have a Marian theme. It was a 4-talk weekend retreat called The Beloved Weekend. Our theme for this year is BEHOLD and PONDER, taken in John 19:26 which says "Woman, behold your Son..." and in Luke 2:51 which also says "...and kept all these things in her heart".
This retreat started on a Friday night. It showcased the talents of the new born composers. As one East A team, we rendered and interpreted the song "Through It All". It was composed by our very talented singer-composer Bro. Eric Fresnosa, our Cluster head as well.
This retreat thought us and reminded us to ponder the family of love since love is what holds families together. We must, therefore, make our family a civilization of love and prayer. Also, ponder in the Manger's message : Jesus chose to be born poor. By this means, we give the poor hope. It is our personal commitment to help the poor. Behold, the new mission. This is our commitment to go on missions. To be one with the Catholic Church and to take giant step to evangelize. This has a great implications in the spirituality of CFC.
Our theme invites us to continue our faith journey through meaningful reflection on Mary's pondering heart, the life of her son, Jesus Christ, and our role in the greater mission. It also compels us to journey as ONE COMMUNITY - one day after another.
Together let us behold and ponder CFC!
