CYMC
We believe in practical, comprehensive youth ministry training. But we don’t think that’s enough. That’s why we incorporate elements of a spiritual retreat into the training convention. Because youth ministry isn’t about what you know, it’s Who you know.

Into the Desert
Jesus knows what it is like in the desert, but He also knows what it is like to emerge from the desert having remained faithful to God. This Lent, we look to Jesus as our model and pray that we can follow His example, prevailing against the temptations of the devil and growing deeper in our relationship with God.

Ascend
Ascend provides insightful and fun background information, prayer challenges, and weekly explanations of the Sunday readings to help Catholics dive deeply into the Word of God through the Mass readings from the 1st Sunday in Advent to The Solemnity of Christ the King for Cycle C.

Eternal Crown

Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory

About this Life Night

During the Gather the teens, in small groups, work together to choose the ending of the story. The Proclaim discusses the choice God gives us to choose life with Him or life without Him and how that choice extends into eternity. The Break is a small group discussion on the Proclaim. During the Send, the teens learn about and receive a Miraculous Medal.

Goal of This Night

The goal of Eternal Crown is to understand Heaven and Hell through the lens of Mary, Queen of Heaven, and to teach that our eternal end is our choice.

Catechism

# 1023 - 1037

Scripture

Matthew 13:41 -42

1 John 3:2

Revelation 11:19

Key Concepts

• Heaven is our ultimate end and the fulfillment of our deepest human longings. It is the state of supreme happiness. It is in union with God.

• Hell is the opposite of Heaven. It is absolute isolation from God who alone can satisfy our deepest longings. It is complete emptiness.

• In the book of Revelation, the Protoevangelium comes full circle. The woman and her offspring fight their enemy, the serpent. The blood of the sacrificial lamb conquers sin and the faithful gain access to union with God in Heaven.

Key Terms

Heaven
Hell
