CCHS
Community Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ,
Let my gifts change the world.
Help us live the call,
Build the Kingdom.
Veni Sancte Spiritus. Amen

Theme and Icon

The Junior Class retreat is based on the previous Gospel passages. How do you live, realize, the Kingdom among us now? The retreat dwells on our expressions of the Kingdom through our actions - the Spiritual and Corporal Acts of Mercy - and how these are expressions of our relationship to Christ. Ultimately for us to recognize that each of us is essentially called by God to be in a loving relationship to God's self and to others in order to make God's kingdom a reality.

During your retreat, you will be using icons as the focus of your base groups and prayer/meditation. The icon for this retreat is that of a community gathered in prayer. Through this icon we recognize the diversity of God's Kingdom here on earth, and that we are called to use the gifts God has given us to make this Kingdom a reality. Each base community (small group) will be assigned an icon of a corporal or spiritual act of mercy - methods of bringing God's Kingdom into existence in our daily lives.
