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.
FAMILIES ON MISSION with Larry Castillo and Pol Billones - Charism in a Year
The two most important aspects in the life of Christians are family and mission. Family is the foundation, and mission is the manifestation.
From time immemorial, the family has been the subject of attack from evil forces. Today, the enemy has gone all out, and a tsunami of evil is upon the world. Can the family survive?
The family must not only survive, but thrive.
The key is a renewed understanding of God’s design from the very beginning. And an all-out counter-assault on the dominion of darkness.

THE INSCRUTABLE WISDOM OF GOD with Frank Cimafranca and Fred Promentilla - Charism in a Year
What are we to make of the seeming paradoxes in the Christian life?
* The first is last and the last is first.
* There is victory in defeat.
* There is glory in dishonor.
* We are to rejoice in suffering.
It is hard for the human mind to grasp the inscrutable ways of God. But to take on the mind of God is essential for our salvation. Jesus has shown us the way, and it is the way of the cross. We are to walk along that path, foolish as it might be to the world.
How can we understand the mysteries of the Kingdom? “For ‘who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to counsel him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Cor 2:16). Let us delve then into the mind of God, so that we can “speak God’s wisdom, mysterious, hidden, which God predetermined before the ages for our glory” (1 Cor 2:7).

El Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) Lessons in Servant Leadership with Fr Jojo Buenafe - Charism in a Year
El Camino de Santiago (The Way of St James) has been an attraction for pilgrims for many centuries. It is one of three pilgrimages that have become important for Catholics, the other two being Jerusalem (the Holy Land) and the Vatican (Rome).
St James is the James, who with his brother John and their mother Salome, sought to have places of honor at the right and the left of Jesus. Jesus then took that opportunity to teach the apostles about servant leadership. They never forgot the lesson. James went on to dedicate his life as an apostle and missionary, and ultimately suffered martyrdom.
Today there is a great need for holiness, which necessitates an inner pilgrimage. There is a critical need for Catholics to respond to the call to the New Evangelization, to be among those who are sent, that is, “apostles.” And there is a dire need to raise leaders after God’s own heart, those who will lead and care for the flock of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are fortunate to have many teachers to teach us about authentic servant leadership—from James the Greater, to Samuel the prophet, to David the king, to Peter the first pope, to Paul the great apostle, to Jesus the Messiah. In this book they give us 144 principles of servant leadership.
Take this virtual pilgrimage, and walk the Way of St James toward a more effective servant leadership.
