COVENANT ORIENTATION

Untitled Slide

He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son

So I declare and testify in the Lord that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds;

darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance, because of their hardness of heart

SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE

Once you were “no people”
but now you are God’s people;
you “had not received mercy”
but now you have received mercy.

MARRIAGE

We are Couples for Christ. We are committed to live in God’s righteousness and holiness, evangelizing people through a life of love and service; we shall work for the renewal of families that will serve God and build generations of Christian leaders; and, we shall pursue Total Christian Liberation through social justice, respect for life, and work with the poor.

FAMILIES IN HOLY SPIRIT RENEWING

PHILOSOPHY

• WE BELIEVE in marriage as an indissoluble institution as taught be our Lord Jesus Christ and that God created marriage primarily for love between man and woman, and for the procreation and proper rearing of children.
• WE BELIEVE that God created man and wife with equal personal worth and dignity; and that God ordained order in the family by giving the man the role as head of the family and the woman as his helpmate and support, which roles best express their complementarity.

PHILOSOPHY CONT

• WE BELIEVE in the inalienable and irreplaceable right and responsibility of parents to educate their children; and that children need to be educated in essential human and Christian values for them to become responsible and mature members of society.
• WE BELIEVE that the family, in practicing the gospel message, shares in the life and mission of the Church—through prayers, evangelization and service to others, especially to the poor.

PHILOSOPHY CONT

• WE BELIEVE that Christian family renewal can best be achieved by inviting Jesus to be the Lord of our homes, by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to lead our family lives, and through the full use of all spiritual gifts at our disposal.
