January 15, 2025 - The Following of Christ (part I)

February 12, 2025 - The Following of Christ (part II)

Mobile version of CTC

You can follow the material using the hard copy of CTC distributed to you during the Intro to our recollection given last Sept. 18 or, better yet, the online version of CTC that is found on this website: https://chaplain.shs-adc.edu.ph/ or you can go directly to CTC by typing instead: https://chaplain.shs-adc.edu.ph/ctc  In case it comes back with - this site is insecure -, just click - continue to site. If you use the former address, just click the menu on the top right corner of the home page and find CTC. The advantage of the online version is that it comes with the YT videos that are helpful in setting the mood for prayer or for praying itself. 

Here’s a tip for easy access to CTC. Use your Chrome on your mobile phone. Type the address and then press the menu (the three dots on the left top corner of Chrome). A dropdown menu will appear and choose Add to Home screen, then choose install. Voila! An app for CTC will appear on your home screen which you can return anytime you need to.

Personal and group accountability

Here’s the mechanics of the recollection. Before our session on October 16, each person must have gone over the matter, read the points and prayed. In other words, this is done between now October 2 and October 16. 

On October 16, I will highlight certain things from the matter; then in an individual silent prayer each person shall have a repetition of the prayer(s) which he or she has done on the matter; after which we shall break into our small groups for the small group sharing; and lastly, we shall end by going back to the big group for synthesis. We begin the session at 1 pm and end in two hours. That’s the maximum. We won’t go beyond two hours. There will also be no other matter or meeting or even announcements besides the recollection. We shall follow this same format for the other two dates of our recollection. 

Once again before October 16, please go over: A Timely Recollection, Schedule and Matter, Mobile version of CTC, and Personal and Group Accountability which are all addressed to PCHS formators. After this go to the CFC proper - from the Opening message to the Closing song of The Vocation in Christ. Don't go beyond this matter, don’t go to the section on The Following of Christ for that will be for next year’s recollections. 

Here are the pages in the section The Vocation in Christ.

Under The Vocation in Christ are:

Opening Song

Scripture Quote

Ignatius’ Call

Under My Call:

Prenotes

Prayer Suggestions (There are 5)

Closing Song

Each page, image, video, quote can be used for prayer. Take your time. Don’t rush. If anything strikes or moves you, stay there for as long as you need. How is God speaking to you in it? Always end the prayer thanking God for His presence.
