The graces You incessantly grant upon us and Your divine providence have sustained our beloved University throughout the years of mission and excellence. Having been founded by the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we pray that You keep us committed and dedicated to our mission and identity to serve the Church and the society as we become living witnesses to the Gospel values proclaimed by Jesus.

The New Trajectories of the CICM Mission Learning Outcomes: At the end of this module, you are expected to: 1. Trace the historical background of CICM missionaries. 2. Identify different challenges which have led to the new trajectories of mission. 3. Site different missionary endeavors that exhibits the four dimensions of CICM mission. LEARNING CONTENT Introduction: The mark of a true CICM is the zeal for missionary work. This means that the charism of the CICM as a missionary institute is to go out to those who are in most need (ad extra) - to go into frontier situations, to nations (ad gentes) wherever the Good News was not heard especially by the poor. “Going out” as a missionary gesture is the availability of oneself to be sent wherever a CICM presence is needed. Inspired by the CICM charism of mission ad extra and dedicated to the Incarnate Word and inspired by Mary, Theophile Verbist animates every CICM missionary to be competent and creative persons in Jesus’ name, and a faithful disciple at the service of the community for the respect and preservation of the integrity of the whole creation.

THE NEW TRAJECTORIES OF THE CICM MISSION “The CICM in the Philippines in their vision for the CICM Tomorrow accepted the challenge of re- conceiving their missionary identity adapts the process of reinvention and revitalization, explores new missionary paradigms and develops new missionary strategies within the context of the new planetary transformation. One of the many mission paradigms they had prioritized is the appreciation of lay empowerment. The congregation recognized the importance of the mission of the laity in new evangelization. Engaging the help of mission lay partners necessarily brings with it a pronounced recognition of lay participation. Lay participation in the Church’s mission is something that the CICM tomorrow continues to support with resolute attention and care.” – NOVA ET VETERA This is so, since the Philippines was not spared from the impacts of globalization. The proliferation of new technology may mean loss of jobs for manual laborers. It means more money for those who have capital, but it makes life more difficult for those living in the margins of society. This can be seen in the urban areas as well as the rural areas. Farmers, for example, are greatly affected with the influx of imported goods and their expensive farm inputs and high interest of farm loans. Poverty, hunger, unemployment, depletion of natural, and migration are only few but present the drama of globalization in the Philippines. As they rise, the crime rate is also rising, and terrorism which is happening in other countries, are also at our doors. This situation should not be dismissed and ignored. In a situation of dehumanization and meaninglessness, the CICM-RP is expected to encourage and give hope. As the CICM claimed in one voice, “Today, the CICM as an international group of missionaries, will be called upon to support the movement towards the promotion of a global ethics which is the common quest for a meaningful co-existence that is genuinely fostered by mutual respect for the world’s diverse cultures and religions.” Retracing the historical background of the missionaries of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM) does not merely involve recollection of the past but more so a deepening of insight. The tireless efforts of the CICM missionaries in the Philippines as well as their continuing efforts to respond to their missionary calling are worth remembering for posterity. No history of the evangelization of the Northern Philippines would be complete without including the courageous exploits of the CICM missionaries and their dedicated and committed lay companions/ collaborators. They braved the dangers of the Philippine rainforests as well as the hostility of some members of northern tribes. The physical and psychological challenges inadequate food, the almost total lack of comfort and medical attention, language, isolation, outright rejection by the native inhabitants did not hinder them to pursue their missionary calling. The story of the implantation of the Christian Church by the CICM missionaries in Northern Philippines particularly in CFED 1051- CICM in Action: (Justice, Peace, Integrity of Creation, and Interreligious Dialogue) |4 the Province of Isabela can never be attributed solely to the CICM missionaries. In the just concluded celebration of the 100 years of CICM missionary presence in Isabela with the theme, Remembrance and Thanksgiving, a dominant motif had surfaced the empowerment of the local church as the CICM missionaries mission partners. Ever since the embryonic stage of the CICM, the laity have always been partners in their missionary activities and journeys. These lay mission partners had been displaying their passion for mission since the first entry of the CICM missionaries in the Philippines. Though the unfolding of ages created crucial facelifts on the images of the CICM mission partners from a do-it all volunteer catechists to a paid professional or a next-to-the-rank deputy to a convinced, dedicated, committed and educated lay, the lay has always been present in the portrait of the CICM missions. The CICM lay mission collaborators are envisioned as: a witnessing and caring community of committed laypersons dedicated to support, and collaborate in the missionary task of the CICM. Hence, four dimensions characterize these mission collaborators: First, they revive or revitalize structural spaces and opportunities for an increased lay participation. Second, they practice and help foster the CICM mission spirituality in all CICM institutions and pastoral works and entities. Third, they participate in and promote the missionary character and work of CICM institutions through mutual interchange and sharing of experiences, expertise and resources. Fourth, they initiate programs and activities in support of the missionary priorities of the CICM. The next years of the Congregation will certainly be another set of challenging years with new situations and issues to confront. From 1960 onward, there was already a systematic decrease in the number of the CICM personnel. Missionary animations were retried, but results were poor and new approaches in animating the youth were proven to be with little success. The present global and social challenges in doing mission confronting the Church in general and CICM in particular, had once more called the partnership of the CICM missionaries and their lay counterparts to effectively and boldly face these changes while maintaining the faith and keeping hope in the future of the CICM as it continues to contribute its share in the building of God’s reign in society. *** END OF LESSON 3 *** CFED 1051- CICM in Action: (Justice, Peace, Integrity of Creation, and Interreligious Dialogue) |5 EVALUATION SUNDAY REFLECTION Instruction: The Sunday reflection consists of two paragraphs.
