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.

In The Midst

Entering Into Silence and Stillness - Session Four

About This Session

The Gather is a short period of upbeat praise and worship. The Proclaim is strongly influenced by personal testimony and Scripture and invites teens to allow God to be their refuge in the chaos and storms of their lives. The Break is a period of extended praise and worship and Eucharistic Adoration guided by the music minister.

The Send summarizes the session and challenges the teens to continue to practice silence in the presence of God.

Goal of This Night

To help teens recognize that silence and stillness are essential to finding Christ in the midst of the chaos and storms of their lives.

Catechism

# 2559

# 2585 - 2589

Scripture

Matthew 14:24 -33

Psalms 46:

Key Concepts

– We live in a culture of distractions and instant gratifications, which become addicting and make it difficult to be present to those around us and the presence of God.

– Silence and stillness are necessary to know God and to know ourselves. It is a skill we need to practice and a grace for which we need to ask.

– God is our refuge in the midst of every storm. We can find Him in our storms and allow Him to give us shelter.

Key Terms

– Prayer
