RECAP<br />
FOUR WAYS TO CONNECT<br />
WITH THE YOUTH<br />
Gospel Reading According to <strong>Mar</strong>k<br />
9:2-10 The Transfiguration<br />
“There may be so much<br />
pain around us but<br />
there is joy in surrender<br />
and offering our<br />
suffering to the Lord.”<br />
– Fr. Paolo Asprer<br />
“Jesus’ transfiguration<br />
is a revelation of the<br />
Father’s love <strong>for</strong> the Son<br />
and <strong>for</strong> us, His beloved<br />
children.”<br />
– Fr. Steve Tynan<br />
“For a deeper<br />
experience of<br />
love, compassion,<br />
<strong>for</strong>giveness and healing<br />
of brokenness, like the<br />
disciples’s Mt. Tabor<br />
experience with Jesus,<br />
join a <strong>Feast</strong> retreat this<br />
Holy Week.”<br />
– Fr. Bob McConaghy<br />
(For details on the Holy Week Retreat, Deeper, see page 4.)<br />

Listening to the Voices of Today<br />
Talk 3: Expansion<br />
BIG MESSAGE: DO IT NOW.<br />
There’s no right time to serve God but now. Some<br />
think that the best time to become a servant is when<br />
we’re ready and available. Not so. The time is always right<br />
whenever we say yes to Him. Age doesn’t matter. We just<br />
have to be available and He will equip us to carry out our<br />
mission. And our life will be exciting and adventurous.<br />
Start early. The Bible says that we should honor our<br />
Creator while we are still young. While we are still strong,<br />
let’s give ourselves to Him. The youth of today should<br />
follow Christ to experience the greatness of His love<br />
early on.<br />
Not too late. Serving the Lord is not based on one’s<br />
age but one’s willingness and commitment to answer<br />
His call.<br />
Everyone is called <strong>for</strong> a mission. Young or old, the Lord<br />
invites everyone to serve Him to feel His unconditional<br />
love. Don’t delay, do it now.<br />
1. Speak their language.<br />
Be familiar with the words<br />
and phrases of our youth to<br />
understand them better.<br />
2. Sing their songs. This is<br />
the best way to relate with<br />
them. Their songs may be<br />
too fast <strong>for</strong> your taste but try<br />
anyway to learn to associate<br />
with them.<br />
3. Die to their preferences.<br />
Give them what they need so<br />
they’ll be com<strong>for</strong>table and feel<br />
at home.<br />
4. Be available to them.<br />
Spending time with them<br />
encourages them to open up.<br />
They need someone to train,<br />
educate and care <strong>for</strong> them.<br />
They need someone to show<br />
them how to love like Jesus.<br />
