Abbey Youth Fest is upon us!

With 6 days before Abbey Youth Fest, the last minute failure in plain has begun. This is the sixth or seventh year and I don't know how they do it. The lady in charge does not listen to suggestions at all. We are looking at having 2000-2500 youth as of preregistration. They today decided to have only one serving line for lunch and dinner. They put all the food under one tent!
They would not listen to a person who has cooked for conventions and conferences with 12 years of experience. Sorry I am venting. Plus I am the seminarian who is incharge of food operations.

Part 1 of my reflection:
A Lenten Reflection

With reading “Theology of the Body for Beginners” and also “Secrets of the Soul” during this time of Lent, with the daily readings of Holy Scripture during mass it was easy to answer a formation question. “The body is the specific vehicle of the spiritual life” (p.44), from the book “Theology of the Body for Beginners” lead to do I experience the body and the spiritual life this way?

Our bodies receive the fruits of the Holy Spirit in our spiritual life. Our mind helps us to communicate what our bodies feel. During my reflection of question, my thoughts kept leading me to the “vehicle.” What was the kick-start to put the body (vehicle) in motion? During this time of Lent, that kick-start is confession. When I fully open my heart in confession I recognize my faults and sins that I have committed against God’s love. It is easy to say that after confession I have released my soul from the sins I have committed. One might say they have felt the load taken off their back. If our body is the vehicle, then what was this load?
