Catholic Young Adult Revolution

A friend and brother in the Lord, Ryan O'Hara, who directs a Catholic ministry called Youth Arise in the Diocese of Phoenix is hosting a "Catholic Young Adult Revolution" - a conference starting May 25, '07 in AZ.

I thought their vision was inspiring and worth sharing with this blog:

We are a generation of young adults in pursuit of truth. We have seen the offerings of this culture and we are not satisfied. We are thirsty, for it is a dry well. But we have tasted and seen Him, and He is glorious. Immense. Loving. Breath-taking. Worthy.

We are a generation raised by John Paul II. We are ready to go where God leads, to do what pleases Him, and to live lives that proclaim God's glory, His grandeur, His renown, and His love. We want to live lives that count. We want to be among the saints that have gone before us and become the generation that reverses the tide of a crumbling society. We shall not be afraid.

So we will unite at a college campus in Prescott, Arizona for 4 days of worship, teaching, and fellowship—with our hearts set upon His Most Sacred Heart.

We will worship. We will pray. We will celebrate.

Join us.

I think many young adult Catholics can agree with this vision - it really captures the hunger and the thirst we all have deep within - I also think it is really a timely, prophetic statement that articulates some of the deepest longings of our generation.

Would do you think?
