We have been home almost a week as I write this to all of you. I have seen the texts and the postings on my space and facebook , I have heard everyone say I miss NCYC I wish we were still there, I wish it that it didnot end . But if you look around we still have NCYC here with us , we formed a coumminty together and brought it home with us . We are still connected to those who were there with us from other parts of the country every time we go and recieve Echuarist we are all at the the same table togather with the Lord.
I remenber being on the bus with you all as we left for NCYC , I can remenber hearing why I did I come this bus ride is so long , I am not going to talk about God or my faith. I remenber those of us who had been before just saying wait and pray you will see , it's somthing I cannot explain but you will feel differnt just pray.I know in a way we were all strangers on this journey , but we became a family a community of believers bound togather by this journey forever.We shared tears of joy , and found the Holy Spirit alive in all of us .
We meet again next Sunday at are normal times , We look forward to seeing you all there . Check the site later this week for meeting update and what the meal will be .
Blessings in Christ

Hey It's Natalie-
ReplyDeleteEveryone who I have talked to is missing NCYC, me included. The thing that I miss the most is that i have never felt more wanted in my life, and except for twenty peole, they all were strangers!!! I felt more wanted then I do at home sometimes!!! I miss the people( Fr.Tony , Steve,) and I mostly miss the atmosphere. Anyone who was there could tell you that the Holy Spirit was there among us. It was the most amazing feeling/experience in my life. I remember when we were told to hold out our hands for Jesus and he would take away all of our sorrows, pain, anger, everything I started crying. In that moment I realized I could put everything on Jesus. I was wearing sunglasses , and a tear rolled down my cheek past the glasses and i remember Stevie asking" Are you crying???" and I said yes. Then he totally didn't get it and started going on about how there were four people in our row crying. Then Ian started asking me if I was okay.Guys!!!! However in that moment , I don't know if I've ever been that ok in my life. My life is filled with worry and weights, and for that period of time, they were lifted away!!! It was amazing, even with the interuptions!Ever since I got back, something has been missing. I think it's that feeling of love and The Holy Spirit.On Tuesday during lunch there are people in the chapel praying the Rosary. Before then I'd been making up excuses, but I decided to go. It was just me and Graz in there, but it was still amazing! I was linked with her in prayer like how we all were linked at NCYC through the Holy Spirit. Next Tuesday, that's where I'll be! Now for some comic relief!! Lisa, you had to have been wondering, what the heck was going on and why several members of our group telling each other to get more in to it. Well I have an explination! At Jambouree Stevie kept telling me and Ian to get into stuff more, so for the past month I have been having my revenge on him, and we have started a was to out annoy each other. Well other people joined in. On wednesday morning though, Stevie broke. I WON!!!!!!!!! Now when me and Ian come around, he runs away. Afterward, me Ian and Cody made a deal to get him! The war is on! Join us Lisa!!!!!! When you see Stevie, tell him to get into it, it being what he is doing. The results are hilarious!! That's it for now, see you Sunday! God Bless! p.s- Hi Mr. Mike
To be respectful, I meant Ms. Graziadei. Sorry!
