Wow !!!!

This is from one of our teens that graduated from High School and is a freshman in College. He attended the weekend retreat with us this past weekend. Check out what he wrote. All I can say is WOW !!!! I love this kid.

" My heart was exploding with love for you all, and especially all of the high schoolers (and 8th graders). It truly was a piece of heaven (except heaven will be a bajillion times awesomer). It's funny how God works though, because at mass the very next day, he told me through Fr. Colum's homily about what He wants of me, and I believe of all of us whom he touched this weekend. Of course God wants us to be loved by Him, to experience His healing. It's hard for me to get along without constantly running to Daddy for healing. But remember that everyone who was healed in the Bible eventually got sick again and died (not horribly sick, just saying that our time will come). First, we have to remember that the spiritual healing is what is valuable, the grace and not so much the emotion. That awesome feeling is an amazing gift, I'll take it any day the Lord gives it. But as for those whom He healed, they went on to preach His message and sacrifice their lives for Him. God calls us to be healed and receive His love and sentiment, but Christ wants us to move beyond those sentiments and become co-redeemers in Him, to become one with Him on the cross for the salvation of the world. Don't get down when He calls us to that, remember to love Him right back and give Him a warm sentiment in His Most Sacred Heart from all that we strive to do for Him, even if we feel a little dry. Love you all"

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!!
