We are going into the mind and heart of our Founder, Frank Padilla, and learning even more about the Charism of Missionary Families of Christ.
What is the best way to do that? By going through all of his 52 books.
We are going to discuss one book a week over the course of a year. We encourage you to watch, and share these videos. If you have read the books, you don’t need to watch. If you have not read the book, you must watch. It is the way to get into our Charism more.
Facing the Future
At the start of this third millennium, we live in a world that continues to be battered by the onslaught of evil forces. There continues the massive murder of the innocents through abortion, unrelenting attacks on the family, the spread of criminality and corruption.
On top of these, we face a radically changing world. Globalization threatens to widen the gap between the rich and the poor. Global terrorism threatens the lives and well-being of everyone. Rapid advances in information technology make pornography and pedophilia accessible at the click of a finger.
The hand of diabolical forces is evident.
It is precisely for such a time as this that God raised up Missionary Families of Christ over 21 years ago. Having been nurtured and set on a strong foundation, Missionary Families of Christ is now at the cutting edge of God’s work in the world. Missionary Families of Christ is a multinational army with soldiers from very many nations, races, peoples and tongues.
Today Missionary Families of Christ is challenged to carry out the mission for which it had been created. Missionary Families of Christ is being sent forth by the Triune God, to help fulfill the Father’s plan to unite all in Christ (Eph 1:10), to carry on the mission of Jesus to bring glad tidings to the poor (Lk 4:18-19), and by the power of the Holy Spirit to become witnesses to the ends of the earth.
This book looks at the clear vision and mission of Missionary Families of Christ for the third millennium. It is a call to arms. It is a challenge to live up to God’s expectations. It presents an opportunity to participate in the greatest drama unfolding today in the heavens and on earth.
