This author firmly believes that early faith formation of children is absolutely crucial to raising up godly adults. So it was a privilege for me to speak last night to the youth group and parents of Mary Star of the Sea (MSOS) Parish.
During this particular talk I featured the lives and Sacred Relics of such Saints as St. Angelo of Acri, St. Bernadette of Lourdes, St. Damien of Molokai, St. Dominic Savio, St. John Paul II, St. Maria Domenica Mantovani, St. Peregrine Laziosi, Bl. Rolando Rivi, St. Therese the Little Flower... and I included my ministry's True Cross Relic, as well.
Several Relics on display at the presentation.
What made this presentation extra-special was the presence of one of the parish's priests, who showed genuine enthusiasm and interest in the presentation and the relics. It then lead to an invitation to return and speak to the entire parish in early 2023, which is exciting.
The same priest had also agreed to expose the Eucharist for 30 minutes in the nearby chapel after the presentation, and it was awesome to see ALL the children and parents participate in the Adoration. It was the perfect way to end the evening - spending quality time with Jesus. Thanks be to God!
topped off the night's events.
So, God willing, tonight's message will take root in the children's heart; helping them to later become fruitful apostles in our troubled world. We pray for them.
