Courage Philippines: Real Love Revolution

Real Love Revolution

The real love revolution has begun last Sunday. As I expected, Jason Evert delivered a powerful and energetic talk to a crowd of mostly young people at SMX Convention Center. I and some Courage brothers and sisters were there to listen to his talk and I was so amazed with this guy! For close to two hours he delivered the talk spontaneously and nonstop covering issues affecting young people today like chastity, dating, courtship, modesty, marriage, pornography, family life, STDs, and yes even the RH bill! We need more people like him who is young and full of passion because the youth can relate to him well.

You can find out more about Jason Evert by visiting his website at www.chastity.com. Catch him too on EWTN's Theology of the Body for Teens together with his wife Crystalina and another host. Here are the snapshots I took of the event. Bad thing I was not able to even get close to Jason. (Star cager Chris Tiu's special appearance was a surprise for me too.)

Five Goals of Courage

1. CHASTITY – Live chaste lives in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching on homosexuality.

2. PRAYER AND DEDICATION – Dedicate one’s life to Christ through service to others, spiritual reading, prayer, meditation, individual spiritual direction, frequent attendance at Mass, and the frequent reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.

3. FELLOWSHIP – Foster a spirit of fellowship in which all may share thoughts and experiences, and so ensure that no one will have to face the problems of homosexuality alone.

4. SUPPORT – Be mindful of the truth that chaste friendships are not only possible but necessary in a chaste Christian life, and in doing so provide encouragement to one another in forming and sustaining them.

5. GOOD EXAMPLE – Live lives that may serve as good examples to others.

Portraits of Courage

For the first time, the members of Courage step from the shadows of anonymity to face the camera. In this Portraits of Courage presentation which includes Part I - Into The Light (3-part videos) and Part II - Cry of the Faithful (3-part videos), they reveal their struggles with homosexuality and the amazing grace of chastity within Courage.

Understand the Catholic Church's controversial teaching on homosexuality from the first person singular. With unsparing honesty, the men and women of Courage bring together the truth and compassion of the Church's timeless wisdom.
