Changing the face of the Youth

About Jesus Youth

Jesus Youth is an international Catholic youth movement with a Charismatic spirituality. It had its beginnings in Kerala (India), but is now active in many different countries throughout the world. Jesus Youth is an initiative of young people themselves, who, filled with the Holy Spirit try to reach out to other young people. The strength of the movement is its special focus on a life centred on the Lord Jesus Christ; beginning with an experience of God, nourished by prayer, the Word of God, the sacraments and fellowship, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. Though not an actual community, Jesus Youth is a network of small but vibrant groups of young people. In their own life situations, they strive to give time to the Lord, responding to the challenges of today's world in the power of the Holy Spirit.

REPORT OF BIJAINAGAR PROGRAM
The Ajmer Jesus Youth music ministry, also known as “Christ Band” had been called to the place called Bijainagar on 5th Nov, 2006, for an inauguration of a grotto of mother Mary at St. Paul’s school, Bijainagar.

It is a small urban area i.e. is 85 km away from Ajmer city, consisting of only 9 families in the parish. The purpose of our invitation was to arrange the music for the mass and the rosary procession.

For this occasion our Rev Bishop Ignatius Menezes of Ajmer Diocese, Rajasthan was invited to celebrate the mass, with our RJY spiritual director Rev. Fr. Angelos Sebastian and other priests. Fr. Christ Raj (I.M.S. congregation) was the Paris priest of Bijainagar parish. There were around 280 people present for this occasion.

We hope that we’ll keep on spreading the message of love through our “Christ band”, for this we look forward to your prayers and wishes.

A PROGRAM FOR THE NURSES
The Ajmer Jesus Youth organized a one day program, in St. Francis Nursing institute Ajmer ,
on 19th Nov, 2006. In this retreat, about 50 nursing students were present along with the teachers and staff.

It was the second time, that Jesus Youth organised a one day program there, and this time there was a much better response from the participants.

The whole program was coordinated by the Ajmer JY coordinator Mr. Balveer and our JY spiritual director Fr. Angelos Sebastian. The Principal Sr. Sunita and the vice-principal Sr. Puspika were also present for the retreat.

The retreat began with music, by the Christ Band. There were three inspirational talks about the importance of Prayer, Forgiveness and the Word of God by Fr. Anlgelos, Chand uncle and bro. Jijo. We also had a nice workshop on “personal relationship with God in life” followed by the holy mass. The retreat ended with an adoration, lead by Fr. Angelos and team.
This was a good experience and back-up for all Jesus Youth, who worked hard for it and for the glory of God.
