Theological Time Bomb Ticking: The Youth Are the Hope of Our Church

No such thing as boring theology

Pope John Paul's Theology of the Body... it gets us where we live. He's speaking our language. He's on our page. He's dialed-in.

We had a superb time with Monica Ashour on our "Theology of the Body Weekend." The grace of God was indeed powerful and we had the immense privilege of being present as kids chose to make their lives a beautiful gift.

Up to bat next is Christopher West. Mark your calendars for June 12 at 6:30, as we begin an 8-week series "Into the Heart", an in-depth study of the Theology of the Body. All are welcome.

Our committee is tiny, our parish is small, we know the destination but we don't have a map... we're Magoo-ing our way toward God's perfect plan. Life is good!

The Youth Are the Hope of Our Church

We are so proud of our kids for being willing to open their hearts to this message. They came, they listened, they responded.

Pope John Paul II said to the youth: "The greatest deception, and the deepest source of unhappiness, is the illusion of finding life by excluding God, of finding freedom by excluding moral truths and personal responsibility. The Lord is calling you to choose between these voices competing for your souls."

They made good choices this weekend.
