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.

Alwar one day Program

A one day program was organised by the Jesus Youth in St. Anselms School, Alwar, Rajasthan. The theme of the program was "Jesus the Good Shepherd". The program was done under the guidance of Fr. Thomas Maniparambil, and Br. Siby George. The program was co-ordinated by Mr. Tennyson Abraham. The program began at 10 AM with a music session by Mr. Vinu George.
The main focus of the program was how to study and succeed in life following the path that our Lord has shown to us.

The first session was about Jesus, telling the children what were the basic qualities in Jesus and to compare ourselves to HIm and find where we find ourselves lacking. This was a practical session. After that there was a panel sharing session where Ms. Soumya Simon, Mr Sanu Thomas & Mr Tennyson Abraham, were asked different questions and that held great interest among the attending youth.

This was followed by a session on the Holy Spirit, who He is and how much He helps us in our day to day life especially the studies. The youth were delighted to hear about the Holy Spirit and they took up a resolution never to cheat again in their examinations.

This was followed by the last session of the day - how to conduct a Praise & Worship by Mr Vinu George and an adoration of our Lord in the blessed sacrament which was also lead by Mr Vinu George.

After the adoration the glow on the faces of the participants was prominent and then a few games were conducted which included the free fall. This gave all of us insights on the need and the qualities that are needed to work as a team.

After the games there was a slight refreshment and the day ended with the final prayers and blessing by Br. Siby George.
