Loved Flock Catholic Charismatic Renewal Ministries Hosts Transformative Life in the Spirit Seminar

The Loved Flock Catholic Charismatic Renewal Ministries – Davao Chapter successfully conducted a Catholic Life in the Spirit Seminar last July 27-28, 2024 at the Finster Auditorium of the Ateneo de Davao University in Roxas Avenue, Davao City which was highlighted with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist presided by Most Rev. Romulo G. Valles, D.D, Archbishop of Davao. The CLSS covered 8 topics that can be helpful for spiritual growth.

On the first day, Bro. Vincent Manalang led the Introduction topic, focusing on a stronger connection to Jesus through praise and worship, and discussed the history of the Charismatic movement and 4 basic truths. Bro. Jing Mendoza covered God’s Love and Salvation, encouraging participants to prioritize serving God and have faith in Christ. Bro. Bingbong Crisologo discussed New Life, emphasizing God’s guidance and the importance of rebuilding life rooted in faith.

The second day included topics on Receiving God’s Gift and Baptism in the Holy Spirit by Bro. Jing Mendoza, highlighting repentance and living out faith. Bro. Vincent Manalang discussed Growth, highlighting daily prayer, scripture study, and service. Bro. Lito Soriano discussed Transformation, emphasizing vigilance against spiritual adversaries and practicing discipleship. During the Holy Eucharist, Archbishop Valles emphasized being the “Loved Flock” of the Lord and the importance of attending mass to keep the memory of Jesus alive.

The key points were becoming like Jesus, having a broader view as citizens of Heaven, and sharing the memory of Jesus through charity. Ultimately, coming together in the presence of the Lord renews and transforms us into the “Loved Flock” of the Lord. The Loved Flock Community also invites everyone to regularly attend the Prayer Meetings every Friday at 6:00 pm which starts with a cenacle prayer, as well as the monthly 2000 Hail Mary Devotion every first Saturday of the month which starts at 9:00 am and is highlighted with an anticipated Sunday Mass at 7:00 pm. These community activities are being held at the CAP Mini Auditorium, Anda Street, Davao City. (Cyril James Villanueva)
