Generation Life Pilgrimage Day 1

Sunday, January 19, 2014 marks the start of our Generation Life pilgrimage! The Office of Youth Ministry is excited to announce that we will have over 1,600 people from all around the Archdiocese of St. Louis gathering at 5 parishes: Assumption-Mattis, Holy Redeemer-Webster Groves, St. Cletus-St. Charles, St. Gerard Majella-Kirkwood, and St. Joseph-Cottleville. Even though our 31 buses will be sending off from different locations, we will all be united through the Mass, in our prayer, travel, and mission.
Our theme for our 2014 pilgrimage is based on 1 John 1:1-4, but specifically verse 2:
“What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.” -1 John 1:1-4
We will begin our journey by reflecting on the truth and love that Jesus Christ reveals to us about the dignity of all human life from conception to natural death. I encourage all of you following this blog, whether at home or on Generation Life, to invite the Holy Spirit into your heart and mind. It is through prayer and our openness that God can reveal Himself and we can find ourselves in a better place to embrace Christ’s Truth and Love for Life.
