The Pilgrimage of a Lifetime

A pilgrimage involves making one's heart full of desire for a new adventure, for special graces--to praise, petition & give thanks to the Lord. And then returning home we are transformed, renewed and restored by the abundant blessings received.

The youth...the hope

So, we were leaving the internet cafe and we came across a cute older man...we said, "Hola," which we say to nearly everyone we pass by. The man asked us where we are from, so we told him. He went on to say that in this world filled with corruption, the youth is the hope of the world. What a beautiful thing to hear!
This was a beautiful reminder for our small group of mostly teens to hear. It echoes the idea that I hold close to my heart...the youth aren't the future of the church, we are the church right now...we are living, breathing, learning our faith right now and spreading His love and truth! We are all the hope because we are one body of Christ and He is present in all of us. Amen!
