Spirit and Truth: A Catholic Lay Movement Seeking To Lead Young Adults Into A Deeper Relationship With Jesus Christ
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. - John 4:22-24Since the time when Jesus uttered these words, Christians have sought to worship God in spirit and truth. Jesus Himself gave us the means to do so in giving us Himself in the Eucharist.
Today I wish to share with all of you young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 about a Catholic Lay Movement committed to helping each of you grow in your personal relationship with Jesus Christ through the Eucharist and Christian Fellowship. The name of this movement is Spirit and Truth and it is rapidly spreading across our country.
Spirit and Truth Mission StatementThe mission of Spirit and Truth is to bring young adults into deeper relationship with Christ through worship of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, study of Church Teachings and Sacred Scripture and celebrations of Catholic Traditions, while forming a community of life-giving relationships. - Taken from Spirit and Truth's Website
I attended one of their WOW (Wide Open Worship) celebrations and was amazed at their love and reverence for our Lord Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament as well as their fervent joy in praising Jesus through songs of praise and worship and through the celebration of the Holy Mass. It was an awesome event.
If you would like more information about Spirit and Truth please visit their website:
On the Spirit and Truth website you can learn more about the movement's history, goals, as well as where various communities are throughout the United States. There are many wonderful movements in the Church that assist the faithful in deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ. Spirit and Truth is most certainly one of them.
In Christ,
Joe
