Introducing Catholic Youth Parramatta's
ELEMENTS


“Elements” is an online initiative by Catholic Youth Parramatta which offers content for youth ministers to use in their respective parishes, schools and movements. It will be distributed monthly.
We look forward to seeing how Elements grows with you. If you wish to discuss the content of this initiative further, contact Qwayne on qwayne.guevara@parracatholic.org.
“There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.”

From Sinners to Saints


As we reflect during this Lenten season, many of us may have already been confronted with areas in our lives where we need God. The more we recognise this, the more we understand the need for daily conversion. Conversion can be understood as any turning or changing from a state of sin to repentance, from a lax to a fervent way of life, from unbelief to faith.

Often, when we realise our shortcomings, failures and weakness, we are discouraged and we allow this to hinder our striving for sainthood. In these times of struggle, we can turn to the community of saints who offer their guidance to us. They are recognised as role models who experienced that daily conversion needed to live a full life in faith. In this edition of Elements, we explore what it means to be a saint and learn about saints who had lived their lives away from God. We offer resources that highlight the struggle and the striving involved in encouraging sinners to become saints. You too are called to be a saint!

Prayer
Prayer is an essential part of your meetings. In this section we suggest a prayer or a creative way to engage in prayer to encourage young people to deepen their prayer lives. This may include songs, guided prayers or meditations. This month, as we look to ACYF 2019, we remember the theme song of ACYF 2017. This is a great way to get your young people on their feet at any youth meeting. Check it out by clicking the link below. More details about registrations to follow in the coming months.
