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.
40 DAYS WITH JOB
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.
