On Saturday, 23 February, 9 Young Adults gatherered together for the O.C. - Ongoing Conversion retreat.
It was a good day, that involved a lot of sharing and reflection. As Young Adults, we were reminded that it is on the path of life that we all travel and that it Christ has shown us the Highway.
We also talked about the 2 great New Testaments models of conversion. First is that of Saint Paul, that sudden, life altering experience. Many, if not most of us, don't share this type of conversion. The Second is that the Apostle, Saint Peter. His is the model which most of follow. Saint Peter wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and he seemingly, had constant, lifelong crises of faith. He denied Jesus 3 times, but affirms Christ 3 times at the Ascension. He tells Jesus no at the Last Supper when Jesus wants to wash his feet, but once Jesus reveals the reason why, he wants his whole body washed.
Most of us, like Saint Peter, falter, have crises of faith, but with all the great and ancient tools the Church has given us, if we are open, the answers are revealed.
We will soon be having fellowship dinners as a Ministry, the Highway, Young Adult Ministry. All Young Adults are welcome to join.
