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.

FORMATION OF FIRST J.Y. SERVICE TEAM OF AJMER

"Even before I formed you in your mother's womb ,I knew you; even before you were born ,I set you apart and appointed you a a prophet to the nations!"
Jeremiah 1:4
To fulfill the plan of God, Ajmer Jesus Youth organized a one day program on 30th Jan at the Cathedral of Ajmer. The gathering consisted of twenty-five to thirty youth. The main purpose of this gathering was the formation of the first Service-Team of Ajmer under the guidance of our spiritual director Rev. Fr. Angelos and RJYT members of Ajmer and Jodhpur.

The program was based on the theme "Shining as Lights in the World" (phil 2), and commenced with a praise and worship session led by Ajmer music team under Sanjit Thomas from Jodhpur. The first talk 'how to be a good disciple of Christ' was given by Miss Anita Rajprohit (of RJYT) .This session was to enlighten the participants, about 'the Call', graces, and duties of a disciple of Christ.

This session was followed by another, taken by Rev. Fr. Angelos on 'interpersonal relationship'. The youth were delighted to learn on maintaining friendly and fruitful relations with team mates, elders and the religious.

In the afternoon, the service team members were elected by voting. This was followed by holy adoration and discernment period. Finally six members were selected as service team for Ajmer Jesus Youth.
