Welcome to the Holy Name of Jesus Youth group blog. The purpose of this blog is to keep parents and young people up to date with what is going on. So if you are unable to make a meeting you can stay in the loop by following this blog. Also along with email, you can turn to this blog for up to date information in regards to our events and it will serve as a way to communicate any last minute scheduling changes in the event of inclimate weather. As it was mentioned in the description we have two sections to our youth group for grades 6-8th and grades 9-12. While it is split into two sections we are one group that share's a common mission and that is to grow closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Tonight February 24th we begin our adventure with a Holy Hour before our Eucharistic Lord. As we kneel before His awesome presence we ask for the strength as we journey through the Lenten season. On the first week of Lent we accompanied our Lord into the desert and in this week's Gospel for Sunday we climbed the mountain as we heard the account of the transfiguration. Lent is an opportunity to enter into the desert or to climb the mountain so that we can face our sins and turn back to God. There is no better way to find strength than to kneel in the presence of Christ in the Most Holy Eucharist.
The title of my personal blog in which I post my homilies is entitled "Survival of Life." Jesus is indeed our "Survival of Life." I challenge our group to turn and look towards Him in His glorified humility. It is in Him we find our strength.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. C.
