What is the LC Community Portal?

The LC Community Portal (lovecrucified.net) is the private digital home for members of the Love Crucified community — separate from the main website at lovecrucified.com. It includes Messages, Teachings, Updates, Directory, Prayer Requests, and Notifications in English and Spanish.

Some sections (Messages, Teachings, Updates) are publicly visible. Directory and Prayer Requests require a login.

Switching Between English and Spanish

Tap the flag buttons (🇺🇸 or 🇪🇸) in the navigation bar. The entire interface updates — labels, navigation, dates, and content. Your preference is saved automatically.

Overview

A searchable archive of all community messages since the beginning. Browse five ways: Search, By Topic, By Date, By Date Range, or Latest. No account is needed to read messages.

Search by Word or Phrase

Type any word or phrase. Results group by precision:

• Topic: [Name] — Messages tagged under that topic
• Exact phrase — Words appear together in order
• All words — Each word present, any order
• Some words — At least one word matches

Search by Date

The search understands natural language dates in English and Spanish. Examples:

For a specific range, use the By Date Range tab and enter start and end dates.

Search by Topic

Type a topic name — the search recognizes it and shows all tagged messages first. You can also tap the By Topic tab to browse the full topic list and select directly.

Navigating Between Messages

When a message is open, four buttons appear at the top: First, Prev, Next, Last. Use them to move through results without returning to the list.

Sharing a Message

Each message has a Share button. Tap it to copy a direct link to that exact message. Send it via WhatsApp, email, or any other method — the recipient lands directly on the message.

References — Bible Verses and Teaching Links

At the bottom of each message, references appear automatically:

• Bible verses — Any Scripture cited by Fr. Jordi displays in full
• Teaching links — If a teaching is mentioned, a link appears to listen directly

Export to PDF

After searching, an Export PDF button appears in the results. The PDF includes all matching messages — useful for printing or saving a themed or period-specific collection.

Overview

231 teachings from 2011 to today — searchable by title, written content, and the actual spoken words of every recording.

Recent Teachings

The Teachings page opens with the most recent. Scroll to explore or use the By Date tab to navigate by year and month. Each card shows the title, date, category, and a brief description. Tap Open Teaching to access the audio.

Search by Title or Written Content

Type any word or phrase. Results group into three tiers:

• Title — Teachings whose title contains the word
• Content — Teachings whose written description or PDF files contain the word
• Transcriptions — Teachings where the word was spoken in the recording

Within each tier, results go from most precise (exact phrase) to broadest (any word).

Search Transcriptions (What Was Spoken)

Every spoken word in every teaching has been transcribed. When your search matches something said in a recording, it appears in the Transcriptions group. Each result shows the exact sentence where the word appears. Tap Show all matches to see every occurrence in that teaching.

Explore by Date

Use the By Date tab to browse teachings by year and month. Select a year to see all teachings from that year, then filter by month.

Overview

A central feed of everything shared with the community — prayer requests, teachings, notifications, and more — in chronological order.

Reading the Feed

Cards appear most recent first, each with a color label:

• Prayer Request — An intention sent to the community
• Teaching — A new teaching announcement
• Notification — A general community notice or reminder
• Letter — A letter from leadership

Visitors without a login see only public content (teachings and general notifications). Logged-in members also see prayer requests and birthday and fiat anniversary cards.

Filter by Type

Tap a filter chip at the top of the feed to view one type at a time — Prayer Requests, Teachings, Notifications, etc. Tap All to return to the full feed.

Birthday and Fiat Anniversary Cards

When logged in, the feed shows special cards for members with a birthday or fiat anniversary today. Each card includes quick-action buttons: Email, Text, WhatsApp, and a link to their Directory profile.

Overview

A complete, always-updated private member directory. Login is required — visitors are redirected to the login page if they try to access it without an account.

Finding a Member

Type a name, country, or ministry in the search box. Results appear as you type. Each card shows the member’s name, country, and role. Tap a card to open the full profile.

Contact Buttons

Member profiles include buttons based on available information:

• Call — Opens the phone dialer
• Text — Opens a new SMS message
• WhatsApp — Opens a WhatsApp chat
• Email — Opens your email app

Ministries Page

The Ministries tab shows who serves in each community area — Council, Prayer Intentions, Discernment, and others. Tap any row to see the people serving in that area.

Member Statistics

The Stats view shows the member count by country — useful for a quick overview of the community’s geographic distribution.

Deceased Members

Members who have passed appear in the Directory with a memorial layout. Contact buttons are hidden. If a memorial page exists, a link is shown in the profile.

Email Address

Prayer requests are sent from prayers@lovecrucified.net. Save this address to make sure they don’t go to spam. The previous address (lcpray@yahoo.com) still works and routes to the same system.

For Members: Sending a Prayer Intention

Any logged-in member can submit a prayer intention from the Portal:

1. Tap Create → Prayer Intention in the navigation bar
2. Write your intention in your preferred language
3. Tap Send

The intention reaches Cata Granados and María Fernanda Tobón, who review, translate, and send it to the community as a formal prayer request. A human editor always reviews each intention before it goes out — nothing is sent automatically.

You can also send intentions directly to Cata or María Fernanda by text or WhatsApp, or email lcpray@yahoo.com. All channels reach the same process.

For Editors: Sending a Prayer Request

Editors (Cata Granados and María Fernanda Tobón) manage requests from the Portal:

1. Open Prayer Requests from the Create menu or navigation
2. Review pending intentions in the queue
3. Tap Process — the form pre-fills with the text and language
4. Write or edit the English and Spanish versions side by side
5. Add attachments if needed
6. Tap Send

The email reaches all members from prayers@lovecrucified.net, each in their preferred language. Every sent request is saved in the Send Log.

Go to Settings (tap your name in the navigation bar, then Settings) to set your default language. This affects the language for notification and prayer request emails, as well as the Portal interface.

Email Preferences

In Settings you can choose whether to receive:

• Prayer Request Emails — from prayers@lovecrucified.net
• Notification Emails — from notifications@lovecrucified.net

You can also update these preferences from the unsubscribe link in any email.

Overview

Community notices, new teaching alerts, and meeting reminders are sent from notifications@lovecrucified.net. Save this address so community notices don’t go to spam.

How Notifications Work

When a new teaching is published, a meeting is scheduled, or a community notice goes out, a notification is sent. You receive it in your preferred language (English or Spanish). The sender writes once; the system sends each version to the right people.

How to Unsubscribe

Every notification email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Tap it to manage your preferences. You can unsubscribe from Prayer Request emails and Notification emails separately.

Available Notification Types

You can publish the following types of content depending on your objective:

• General Notification: A standard message for the community, typically used for cenacle reminders.
• Teaching: Educational or doctrinal content for the community.
• Testimony: Personal faith stories and shared experiences.
• Media: Visual attachments, such as photos or graphics.
• Event: Announcements regarding upcoming activities and schedules.
• Letter: Official communications or formal messages.

• Credentials: A valid username and password.
