Jesus' greatest gift of love to us is the Eucharist. In fact, it is more than just a gift. It is also the Gift-Giver: Jesus gives us Himself every single time we receive the Eucharist.

Come by every week to revisit the Youth Mass Homily!! This past Sunday, Deacon Eduardo Barajas preached on his own experience of encountering the love of God, and how the Lord set his heart on fire, never to be the same again. Listen now!

We can never fully know our future, and it is a futile effort to try. So instead, we are called to trust in God with confidence and hope, not relying solely on our own strength but on the help of the Holy Spirit. When we give our hopes and dreams to Jesus, we balance our desires with trust in His care and providence, even when things do not go according to our plan.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd who cares for us and wants the best for us, now and in the future. Jesus delights in the development of our natural interests and talents, which present a unique way of serving and glorifying Him.

Use these questions to comfortably bring Jesus into your everyday conversations during car rides, dinner time, and beyond.

• What do you think about simply trusting God with your future? Do you like the idea of letting go, or does it cause you to worry?

• Do you believe that prayer can make a difference in dealing with worry or anxiety? Why or why not?

• In what areas of your life or your future do you have difficulty trusting God?

• How can you invite the Holy Spirit into the discernment of your future?
