It's been a very long while since I wrote here...
Being a Catholic Faith Defender is the best experience I ever had in my life. That way, I can have more time with God, learn and follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, and know more about my Catholic faith. The most important thing that I learned is that the Catholic Church is the TRUE Church, because Jesus Christ Himself has founded it.
Before I joined the Catholic Faith Defenders, I tried to find an organization that could fulfill my spiritual needs. The first religious organization that I joined in school is the Campus Crusade for Christ, a Protestant organization. In my time spent being a member of CCC, I tried to observe their way of worshiping God, and discussed in the next paragraph are my observations.
I have learned from them that only faith alone can save you. In my mind, I thought: "So if I don't have faith I can't be saved?" Also, they do not do the Sign of the Cross because they are Protestants, obviously. And I also learned from them that (Third Spiritual Law) ONLY Christ is the provision for man's sin, and that I must accept Him as my personal Savior. That means there is no need to pray for the intercession of Mama Mary, the saints and the holy angels. Although deep inside I am critical of their way, I respect their religious beliefs, and most of all, they are good people.
Since then, I did not anymore participate in the activities of CCC. I concentrated on my studies and, by God's grace, I am doing well. The beginning of my membership with CFD is when I saw one of my friends (Karen) talking to Kuya Arthur (He has a blog here. I will follow it later). I told Kuya Arthur that I was a member of CCC, and he told me that it is a Protestant organization. He explained to me the flaws of the Protestant teachings and explained to me the history of the Catholic Church and the Catholic faith. When I was talking to Kuya Arthur, I was really enlightened, and I can see that Kuya Arthur is guided by the Holy Spirit as he was talking to me. After that, he invited me to come to the Basic Ecclesial Community/Catholic Faith Defenders office, and the rest is history. Thanks to Kuya Arthur, I am inspired and I swear to God that I will be firm in my Catholic faith.
I met new friends there, especially Hubert, Ate Cham, Khiara, Jesardnel, Edrome, Bonna, Harmie, Rubie, Carla, Kuya Carlo, etc., and bonded with those who I already know (Kris Jhon/Kid, Karen Jade, Kuya Willy and Kuya Arthur). By participating in the prayer sessions of CFD (especially the Latin Rosary every Friday), I learned the value of the Catholic prayers. I also learned that faith and good works go together, for through our faith in God and His Son, and through our charity, we are working for our salvation. I really thank God that I met these people, because they inspired me and strengthened my Catholic faith. God bless CFD!
Benedicat Deus.
Good night everybody.
