JesusYouth International Newsletter - December 2013

In this issue

“After a long stormy night spent in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, hearing the preaching of the Pope and fellowship, a sea of young Catholics from around the world stood still in the abandoned airfield in Cuatro Vientos, Spain at the final Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI. Groups of young people waving their bright green and yellow Brazilian flags cheered proudly as the Shepherd announced that the next World Youth Day would take place on the shores of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the theme to be taken from the Gospel according to St. Matthew “Go and make disciples of all nations”.

JesusYouth International Newsletter Magazine Description:

Jesus Youth is an international Catholic youth movement with a charismatic spirituality. It had its beginnings in Kerala (India), but is now active in nearly 25 different countries around the world.

Jesus Youth is an initiative of young people themselves, who, filled with the Holy Spirit try to reach out to other young people. The strength of the movement is its special focus on a life centered on the Lord Jesus Christ: beginning with an experience of God nourished by prayer, the Word of God, the sacraments and fellowship, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others.

Though not an actual community, Jesus Youth is a network of small but vibrant groups of young people. In their own life situations, they strive to give time to the Lord, responding to the challenges of today’s world in the power of the Holy Spirit.
