The Awesome Gift of Liveloud BC

Liveloud was truly an awe-inspiring event, and much of my awe had to do with how the Lord revealed His love to me through the family. Even though my own couldn’t be there, I still felt embraced with a fraternal love. I was affirmed evermore how we, the community, the church, and all of our own families, are one family in God and it was that truth that led to my joy overflowing at Liveloud.

It was incredible to see parents with their children, sisters from the Missionaries of Charity, brothers and sisters from the Archdiocese, Couples for Christ, Handmaids, Singles for Christ, CFC-Youth, and even Kids for Christ raising their hands and praising God, all 1,500 of them! I heard from a few individuals how they saw their parents raising their hands and singing. It was a bit weird for them but they were extremely happy seeing their parents praising God. How wonderful it is when families worship together. What a gift!

This event was truly a gift from God not just to our community, but to His entire church, and might I say, the entire world. This first Liveloud in BC, blessed by our shepherd, Archbishop Miller, was only the beginning and a taste of what the Lord has in store for all of us.

Now, for me, there were many highlights, but the greatest one was witnessing my fiancé honour our Blessed Mother by singing the Hail Mary prayer. My heart was utterly wrapped in the love of God in that moment and I couldn’t help but smile and feel affirmed of the Lord’s will in my life.

Here’s a clip of “Hail Mary” being sung by the whole band:

I look forward to what the Lord has in store for me and my future family, and His entire family! God is good!

Thank You, Jesus and Mama Mary. I’m just so grateful.

May we always be attuned to His still small voice in the silence of our hearts, so that we may be inspired by the Holy Spirit to love loudly for love of Him.

Ave Maris Stella! God be praised!

Liveloud is Thanksgiving

On February 21, in Surrey, BC, 1,500 CFC, HOLD, SFC, CFC-Youth, and members of the Archdiocese will be gathered to witness God’s prevailing love in the form of the Holy Mass and Praise and Worship. This will truly be a momentous occasion not just for our community but also for our archdiocese because rarely do we get to experience over a thousand individuals of all ages and walks of life gather to praise and worship God through original songs written by CFC and its ministries.

It will be a time to lift up to God our thanksgiving personally and as a community of faith. As a community, we can be thankful for the very fact that we have been abundantly blessed for 21 years of evangelization and family ministry. For 21 years the Lord has blessed our work through the Couples for Christ, the Handmaids of the Lord, Kids for Christ, CFC-Youth, and Singles for Christ, serving hand in hand with our Archdiocese in renewing the face of the earth by renewing the families. This is why I pray that every ministry be present at Liveloud, simply because it wouldn’t be the same without you.

It wouldn’t be the same without the presence of unconditional love always shown by the CFC couples, the charismatic fire of the Handmaids, the zeal and passion of the youth, and the witness of faith of the Singles for Christ. Also, it wouldn’t be the same without the presence of our beloved clergy and religious who are our main inspiration for being FOR CHRIST.

So let’s gather, my brothers and sisters, all in the name of Jesus Christ who has been so good to us throughout the years, and Who will never stop being good to us, Who will never stop loving us. He is the reason for Liveloud and He will be right there with us, and because of that, our hearts will be renewed and the fire to serve, re-kindled.

All for the Lord! God is good!
