COUPLES FOR CHRIST (CFC)
Attending
the Couples for Christ (CFC) meeting on Thursday, July 11, 2013, was for me
very uplifting, as I could discern the serene conviction of faith in the
speakers. With a movement such as the Couples for Christ operating in the
church and society, one can project a confident future. I trust that CFC will
effect a faith renewal in Christian families.
A recent survey revealed that children without religion lacked
moral values and were unprepared for adult life. A recent pamphlet from the Catholic Truth Society warns that they
are pampered, have weak parental role models and remain immature, irresolute,
soft and irresponsible, in fact, heartless or indifferent narcissists. They
treat people as objects, mere tools and toys for their use. They see sex as a high-powered
form of recreation and thus fall easily into promiscuity, co-habitational
relationships, unwanted pregnancies, abortions and disastrous marriages. This
is happening. Parents of such children are weak moral figures, failing to help
their children develop conscience and sound judgement, unable to distinguish
right from wrong, going only by their personal convenience. Is it surprising
that so many teenagers are committing suicide and many more are suicidal?
I am sure that the members of the CFC are aware of these pitfalls
and will assist parents instill in their children the virtues of true religion,
the spirit of adventure that goes beyond computer games, and a personal
centring on Jesus Christ in the Church.
