CHRISTIAN LIFE MOVEMENT
PHILIPPINES
© Christian Life Movement - 2010
Christian Life is expressed in many ways in people's daily lives. Thus, the Movement has a number of acciones organized as projections of the daily lives of its members. We mention here some of these services in order to give an idea of their holistic scope.
Missionary Action
The "hunger of God" is a reality which demands a coherent response. Through Missionary Action we in the CLM seek to support the New Evangelization of Philippines. Those who participate in it contribute a period of time during the year to travel to areas which require the presence of pastoral agents to cooperate in the animation of the local Christian life, according to their reality and needs.
The organization and realization of this missionary service is always done in coordination and most of the times at the request of the Bishop of the area.
Services of Faith
This a missionary service of urban character. Those who participate in it cooperate in the Christian formation and preparation of those about to receive the sacraments of Confirmation and First Communion. We believe in a thorough catechetical formation.
Pro-Life is another of the opportunities Christian Life Movement members have to serve the community. Those who participate in this work have felt a calling to promote the sexual ethic which springs from the faith of the Church and is taught by the Magisterium. Members of this service promote, encourage and defend the Christian way of living sexuality, and the respect for human life and dignity, from its conception until its natural death. In a special way they devote themselves to the defense of the life, dignity and rights of the unborn, sick and elderly as the human beings they are since the moment of their conception.

There are many other areas in which CLM members get involved. For example: education, health services - especially among the poor- and the promotion of art and music as very sensible manifestations of the human life. Technology and media, that are becoming more important in a culture that some called "information age", have also deserved a very special dedication by members of the CLM.
