To Save a Life

This year’s Regional Youth Conference will be my 6th one and my heart can barely contain its excitement! The theme, Journey, immediately brought me into a state of reflection where the Lord revealed to me three things: In our…

Overcoming Roadblocks

General

Upon reflecting on this year’s Regional Youth Conference's name, Journey, I came to an arguably simple conclusion: a journey is not like a road trip or vacation. It is not a temporary endeavour but an ongoing adventure. For us Catholics,…

Preparing for a Long Journey

General

I am so very excited! Regional Youth Conference is coming up in a month, and a lot of preparation is being done at the moment. I, too, am preparing. Preparing the pink I will wear to represent East Cluster, making sure my friends…

Vision for the Mission

General

In grade 8, I attended a youth camp called Camp Glorify because my friends were joining CFC-Youth. The idea of gaining a relationship with Jesus was a bonus. In grade 9, I returned after being away from the community for about a year. Some…

Lent In Review

What is Lent? Lent is the period of time between Ash Wednesday and Holy Thursday, where one is expected to pray, fast, and give alms. In Greek, Lent is known as “tessarakosté”, meaning fortieth. This term was first used in 325 AD, in…

Love is Not

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” -1 John 4:7 Love. Everyone has a different idea of what this means, but who is actually right?…

On Keeping Your Heart

General

What if I walked up to you right now and told you to guard your heart? Would you stare at me blankly? Would you laugh? Would you brush it off nervously? Change the subject? Ask what I know about you? Roll your eyes? Respond with conviction?…

My Family and I

General

I don’t know about you, but I love my family! I always get excited whenever I get the chance to share about them because they are God’s greatest gift to me. My family consists of 4 people who love to spend time with each other. There…

God's First Gift to Me

General

Have you ever wanted a different family? I did. To be exact it was in 2012. It was in the summer of grade nine when coming home meant coming home to a brother that would always argue and annoy me, and to parents that would not stop fighting.…

I Am Home

“So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.’” - Luke 15:20 As you may already know, this year Pope Francis…

In the School of Mercy

The beginning of our new liturgical year marks the end of the Jubilee Year of Mercy declared by the Holy Father last December. Pope Francis believed the world to be in urgent need of the message of mercy, especially “at a moment full of great…

Remember when you attended your first camp? Your friends probably hyped you up about it, you had no idea what to expect, and #PCD (post camp depression) was all over social media afterwards. Chances are that your camp experience marked the first…

Evangelizing the New Mission Area

General

We live in a day and age in which technological advances have shaped the way we interact with others. We also live in a time where the Internet is, for the most part, commonplace. The Internet, however, is like a double-edged sword. On one…

I Declare: RYC Reflection #1

General

May 20, 2018 Around 24 hours ago I was jumping around, shouting from the top of my lungs, praising and worshiping Christ with the greatest capacity I’ve ever had. Like last year, I once again felt this feeling inside my heart - this pain…

Thy Will Be Done

How did you encounter Christ this Lenten season? Reflecting on this question, some of you reading may respond to having spent your Lent actively fasting and preparing yourself to get to know Christ intimately. While others may say that they…

Extravagance Found in Simplicity

General

Create in Me a Clean Heart “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen. Bless me father for I have sinned…” As I finished speaking of unspeakable things, silence filled the confessional booth. My tongue, weary…
