Steubenville

Oh my gosh Steubenville was the most amazing thing I have ever been to. It was all about loving our God as a Catholic and being a witness to that. There were many talks and many songs. I do have to admit that I cried in some of the songs and talks but the thing that got me so worked up was the Eucharist. When Jesus came out I just stared in awe at Him for at least 30 minutes to an hour. At first I did not think I was doing something right. Everyone around me was crying and crying out to Him. And all I could do was just sit there. When the priest began to take Jesus back, It all went out the window. My blankly staring began to be a sob. When He was gone I still sobbed and sobbed some more. I really didn’t understand why I was crying. I asked one of my youth leaders about this and he said that he has been going to adoration for years and still doesn’t understand why he cries. I don’t think we will ever know why but I think it matters more that we at least know who we are sobbing for.

MOLLY!
