Stubbenville, the parts that stand out to me right now,more later
HEYA!!!
Jesus loves you! seemed to be te byword of the weekend. SO the bus left at five friday morning and was a long trip up to stuubenville, 10 hours. We fgot there in time to go to the travelers mass and then dinner and then the first session. I dont remember what that particular one was about, then priase and worship and then adoration. It was the best time of my life!! we sang the entire time and then the priest brought out the monstrance, i was ablt to keep myself together for a little bit, but then i broke down, i couldnt bring myself to look at jesus. He was so colse, juts up on the alter. I cried a lot and i think God has revealed His vocation for me, to me. That was really cool. then we went bakc to the dorms and went to bed. We woke up really early and had a priase and worship session and then split up into boys and girls and had sperate sessions, then mass, then lunch and then a fund session, lotd of loud music. Oh! Fr. Leo break danced for us, that was totally awesome, a priest breakdancing. And then i went with Jenni to a talk about the mass and hwo to enter in to the spirit of the mass more fully. Fr dave did that one. And then i heard the vocation talkj from Fr Leo and then we had small groups and dinner. Then more priase and worship and another talk and than adoratiopn again. This time they paraded the Monstrance around and several people that were sitting next to me broke down. So i put my needs asiade and sat with them and God gave me words for them and i told the people what God had said to me to them!! it was so amazing, i saw someone who had been skeptical all weekend give in and it was so beautiful! so i gave him some encouraging words. Then we had small groups and then went to bed. Sunday moring we loaded the buss and went tot the ending session. then mass, and the bishop of stubbenville came and said it. Id never looked at the mass the way i did yesterday, i gopt to eat jesus! it was amazing!! then there was the long bus ride home and we finaly made it back at about 12:30. Oh, one last thing for now, i got a really cool teeshirt.
