It’s almost retreat season!! I am really excited!! I don’t know what it is but I am feeling different going into this retreat than I have on any other ones. Maybe it’s because I’ve had the humbling experience of the kitchen to open my eyes to what these retreats are truly about but all I know is that I’m ready to serve!
I’m really excited. Being in youth ministry, this is what I live for! The opportunity to bring catholic teens closer to their faith and closer to God. To be able to show them that it’s okay to express their love of God and Jesus to the world. To let them know that they will always have a place at our parish where there are people who are willing to listen and lend a helping hand with their struggles or help them understand their faith further.
Retreat season is what I live for and it just changes my whole outlook and every retreat is an amazing experience. People think that because you are a peer leader or on the retreat team that you aren’t experiencing the retreat yourself. The reality is that although each of us have been on our own retreats, we are still experiencing the same things the students are; just on a different level. Being able to see the power of Christ move these teens in ways that they never thought is more powerful than anything and being apart of that transformation is life changing.
I’m so ready for this retreat this year! I’m pumped and I wish retreat season would be here faster! <3
