Catholic Youth Festival in December.
On Saturday, 13th May, Ms Reyes and Mr Sadsad, along with 7 students, attended the LIFTED LIVE event hosted by Catholic Youth Parramatta, featuring renowned Catholic ministry leader Steve Angrisano from the USA.
It was a spirit filled night with over 200 young people from the Parramatta Diocese where Steve shared his passionate message of faith for us all in his unique fusion of live music, humour and storytelling.
We were also able to watch a TED talk, delivered by his Holiness Pope Francis. His message for us all is that we are all accountable for the future we wish to see, that all the new developments we have made in science and technology are meaningless without regarding our humanity, solidarity and overcoming our ‘culture of waste.
And finally, we must seek to do good to others. Using the Parable of the Good Samaritan as an example, we must reach out with tenderness. Tenderness as Pope Francis defines “means to use our eyes to see the other, our ears to hear the other, to listen to the children, the poor, those who are afraid of the future...Tenderness means to use our hands and our heart to comfort the other, to take care of those in need.”
The night concluded with a powerful Adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
It was truly a fun and uplifting night for all that attended with all of us looking forward to the next live event. LIFTED live! events will be held several times throughout the year leading up to the Australian
