I Will Walk For A Scholar... Walk With Me!

ANCOP GLOBAL WALK 2012

As God continues to bless our community and even our personal lives, this also comes with the honor of being a blessing to other people.

Through ANCOP (Answering the Cry of the Poor), Couples for Christ’s work with the poor program, we have been given the opportunity to help and make a difference.

One way to get involved is to take part in the ANCOP Global Walk 2012. 

It aims to:

TO RAISE FUNDS to support the ANCOP Scholarship program
            Continue1,000 scholars and
            Support 1,000 more college scholars or 2,000 more elementary or highschool scholars

TO RAISE AWARENESS of ANCOP as the social ministry of Couples for Christ, Servants of the Lord, Handmaids of the Lord, Singles for Christ, Youth for Christ and Kids for Christ

 

Last year, more than 50,000 people coming from all walks of life, joined the event in Metro Manila, plus thousands more from the different provinces in the Philippines and key cities around the world, walked for a scholar.  Some Middle East countries braved the intense heat just to be able to support.  It was indeed a victory not just for the scholars who will benefit from this, but also for God and His self-less people.


Also last year, ANCOP was blessed to have been re-launched in the various countries for CFC Middle East, particularly, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.  And since then, brothers and sisters from the region have been supporting the various programs and projects of ANCOP more particularly its goal to build homes and support poor scholars.

 This year, ANCOP will once again be mobilizing “walkers” on August 12, 2012 and everyone is invited to take part in the ANCOP Global Walk 2012.

For those who are scheduled to come home to the Philippines this August, you may join the various walk sites in Manila or key provinces.  Details as follows (for Manila Walk): - ANCOP Walk Site

For countries in the region who wish to organize your own walk, you may coordinate with your respective CFC and ANCOP national heads.

Let us be one in making a difference.  Walk for a Scholar!  Christ already led the way… it’s time for us to follow in His steps.

Keep Christ in Christmas: THE LIGHT OF HOPE

"I’m participating in the KEEP CHRIST in CHRISTMAS Blog Link-Up 2013 sponsored by the  Catholic Bloggers Network ." Be sure to  visit as many links as possible , listed at the bottom of this post. Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child.  Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her Mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate.

Love at First Sight!

Love is something we experience right from the very moment of our conception.   Inside a mother's womb, the first sound a child listens to is the sweet sound of love beating from a mother's heart.  The first sight a child first learn to appreciate is the tender gaze of a mother's loving eyes.  The first touch a child can feel is the warmth of a mother's embrace.  A newborn baby learns to feel love the minute his heart begins to beat.  Love simply comes naturally for all of us who are blessed to live.  For indeed, LOVE gives birth to LIFE. It is the very essence of our being.  It is the very reason for us to fulfill our purpose and destiny.

KEEPING LOVE IN LENT: A Lot About Love... Inspirations from a 4-Year Old

“I’m participating in the Keeping LOVE in LENT Blog Link-Up 2013, hosted by Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints ,  Truly Rich Mom   and  Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families . We’ll be sharing different ways, tips, stories and real-life experiences that will help us focus on Lenten sacrifices, prayer and good deeds, and how to carry them out with LOVE instead of a GRUMBLE. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of link-up entries." It’s simply amazing how much I can learn from someone so young.  A child can definitely teach us - older ones - a lot about love…  Out of nowhere, my son told me, “ Faith is my life ”.   He was actually referring to his playmate, a girl about his age named, Faith.   I honestly didn't know where he learned to say those words, but in the pureness and innocence of his heart he was happy and proud to express it.   There was another time he came up to my husband and me and said…   “ Daddy, Mommy is y
