Defeated

An Edge Night on Jesus' Passion and Death

The Edge Night begins with a Gather game that purposefully makes the youth unsettled to put them in the position of what it would have been like to be in the crowd as they accused Jesus. The Proclaim breaks open why Jesus was so persecuted as well as what His death won for us and it’s connection to the Eucharist. The Break challenges the youth to come up with movies that have characters who sacrificed their lives for the good of others as well as a discussion about the sacrifice of Jesus. The Send closes the Edge Night with a reflection on Jesus’ words from the cross.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Edge Night is for the youth to come to a greater understanding of the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ.

Catechism

Scripture

Key Concepts

– From the beginning of Jesus’ public life He was misunderstood, He was different, and a lot of people found His teachings to be difficult and offensive; because of this they sought to destroy Him. (CCC 574-586)

– God loves us so much that He was willing to die for us, He was willing to give the greatest sacrifice of His very life to save us — all of us. There is not a single person who has lived or ever will live for whom Christ did not suffer and die. (CCC 605)

– Jesus was obedient to the will of the Father to the point of being killed. His obedience saves us from our sins. His obedience makes up for all of humanity’s disobedience. (CCC 612)
