Are you ready for Christ to shine His light into your life? Readings for the 1st Sunday in Advent: Is 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7; Ps 80:2-3, 15-16, 18-19; 1 Cor 1:3-9; Mk 13:33-37
It was a Saturday night and I was completely alone. I had cash in my pocket and gas in my truck but I had no friends … anymore. The phone was not ringing. The silence was a deafening reminder to how “sad” my social life had become in a very short amount of time. This had never happened to me in my previous three years of high school. My senior year was supposed to be epic! Instead it was growing increasingly lonely and there was only one person to blame: Jesus.
This year, as a Life Teen family, we are looking to assist our brothers and sisters in Christ farther away than our local communities. The 2010 Give It Away Now: Thirst for Change will take us all on a special journey – from the change in our pockets to the fresh, clean water in villages of Ghana, Africa.
Check out this interview with Thomas Awiapo, spokesperson for Catholic Relief Service. He’s faced the struggle to have clean water during his youth in Africa. Listen to his story and engage in Give It Away Now on Sunday, September 26. More information here.
