Rooted in Faith, Guided by Purpose: CMO Strengthens Spiritual Bond in August Activity
The Campus Ministry Organization (CMO) conducted its scheduled monthly Mass and Fellowship gathering on August 5, 2026, at the Governor Mariano E. Villafuerte Community College (GMVCC)–Libmanan.
The morning Mass was held at the college grounds and was attended by students, faculty, and staff. It was sponsored by the Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTED) major in Electrical Technology and the Future Electrical Educator Student Society (FEESS).
In his homily, Rev. Fr. Samuel O. Bersabe emphasized the true meaning of sacrifice—for both students and parents. He reminded the learners that while they may be in relationships, their top priority remains fulfilling their duties and focusing on their studies. Doing so, he said, will secure a bright future and serve as the best way to honor and repay all the sacrifices their parents make for them.
Following the Mass, the CMO continued with its monthly Fellowship at the 3rd Floor Function Hall. Ma’am Marifer Comia led the reflection, focusing on John 3:16—“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” She highlighted that this verse captures the very heart of the faith: that God never turns away nor abandons anyone, regardless of who they are or what they have done. His love and mercy remain constant, and all that is asked is a sincere heart willing to turn back to Him.
The gathering became even more meaningful as several students shared personal testimonies—telling of how God guided them through difficult times and how a simple prayer turned into answered blessings and life-changing moments.
The activity was held with the core purpose of strengthening and deepening everyone’s personal connection with God. Through prayer, reflection, and shared stories, the students were reminded that keeping close to God gives them strength to stay true to their duties, wisdom to make the right choices, and assurance that they are never alone in their journey. It serves as a gentle reminder that a life rooted in faith guides every sacrifice toward purpose, and every effort toward a future filled with hope.
