Teens with Jesus

Tonight's talk was on true love. Valentine Day was the very next day. Some were out that night making sure they had the perfect gift for their loved ones. Not the Lifeteen kiddos at our parish.

Instead it was planned to surprise the kiddos with a little time with the example of perfect love.
Our God, made man, died for us so that we could enter heaven. Tonight He humbled himself to the form of bread so that these teens could love on Him and just be with Him.
The pictures can not do justice. When 230 teens open their eyes to our Lord and their hearts open the world is a better place. When we learn to love like this all will be right in the world.

The teens were not forced to pray but allowed to. It was a wonderful evening and I felt so blessed to be a part of it. John Paul II often spoke of the power of prayer from the young people. I could feel it this night with all of them surrounding me offering to our Lord and Savior all their pains, delights, desires and prayers.
