Evening Questions (Possibly on the ride home)
- What did your experience at this conference show you about God’s love?
- What is one thing you can do to foster your relationship with Jesus after the conference and every day?
- What are some challenges you are going to face at home?
- What will you do if you struggle to live your life in Christ or if the circumstances at home make it challenging to live your faith?
- How will you stay connected with your youth group, friends, and community members who are striving to live as followers of Christ?
- How can you bring this conference experience back to your parish, youth group, high school, family, friends, etc.? How can you share this faith with others?
- When you encounter those areas of darkness that you came into the day with, what is your ‘action plan’? How will you seek Christ and as the one true light?
- If you could ask the Holy Spirit for two things, what would they be?
Saturday Afternoon Questions
Goal: to show how Jesus, through his cross and Resurrection, has overcome sin and death by suffering with us. Through this session, our hope is to continue to remove barriers and develop an expectant and eager faith in Christ.
Saturday Afternoon Keynote Scripture: Luke 22:39-46 (Agony in the Garden) & John 20:11-18 (Appearance to Mary Magdalene)
Keynote:
- Which “Garden” do you find yourself in? Why?
- Gethsemane – life sometimes feels really dark or heavy; there may be a lot going on that’s overwhelming and stressful; lack in trust that God is who he says he is.
- Eden – distant from God, feeling cut off, abandoned, or that you cannot approach God as a Father or friend.
- Empty Tomb – there’s joy and a feeling of closeness with Jesus. While issues may exist, they may not feel so intimidating.
- What is preventing you or what hesitations do you have when thinking about entering into and embracing the garden of the empty tomb?
- What do you hope that the Holy Spirit will ‘transform’ in your life? What areas of darkness do you want him to bring light into?
- For the small group leader: briefly share a time when you experienced the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in your life. What was that like? What did you feel or experience? How was life different after?
Silence:
- What stood out to you in praying through the Scripture of the appearance of Jesus to Mary Magdalene?
- Was that experience of praying with Scripture new? What did you enjoy/ find difficult?
Adoration:
- What was your adoration experience like this afternoon?
- What did God do in your heart during eucharistic adoration? Did he speak or reveal anything specifically to you?
- Help the youth understand that, even if they didn’t feel anything, God is still working in their lives and calling them to an intimate relationship with him.
- Has your image of Jesus changed after the talk and eucharistic adoration? How?
- Do you have any questions about what you experienced?
- What is different about the light/ meaning/ purpose Jesus provides as opposed to that which is offered by other things in our lives that appear to provide light/ meaning/ purpose?
- Did Jesus illuminate any particular areas of your life which felt previously dark?
Saturday Morning Questions
Goal: To invite young people into an open, honest moment of self-reflection on their own faith. Have them ask the question, first, “Do I truly believe in God?” and second, “Do I trust God?”.
Saturday Morning Keynote Scripture: Mark 10:46-52 (The Healing of the Blind Man, Bartimaeus).
Entering into the Conference:
- Where are you (physically, spiritually, emotionally) coming into today? What’s currently the biggest/ most important/ most stressful/ most exciting event going on in your life right now.
- How have you seen Jesus working in your life during the past few months?
Experience of Praise and Worship:
- Describe your experience of praise and worship this morning.
- What was something the worship leader said that struck you? Have you ever prayed like this before? What did you enjoy about this style of prayer? Why? What was difficult about praying like this? Why?
Keynote:
- What struck you from the Gospel reading of Jesus Healing the Blind Man, Bartimaeus?
- Who do you relate with most in the story? Why?
- What are those things in your life rebuking you and telling you to be silent? What are those things in your life attempting to undermine your understanding of Jesus?
- Do these things, in turn, illuminate God or obscure Him? Do they help us see God for who he really is? Or, do they make us blind to who he is?
- Just as Jesus comes to Bartimaeus and brings light/ restores his sight, we have those things in our lives which provide meaning/ purpose/ light. What are those?
- If you could pick two words to describe who God is to you/ your relationship with him, what words would you pick? Why?
- If Jesus were to ask you the same question he asked Bartimaeus, “What can I do for you?” how would you respond? What would you ask for?
- For the small group leader: we encourage you to share parts of your story of how Jesus came and brought sight to your own life. At the end of this small group session, please share your story with your young people. In addition, invite them to share their own stories of how Jesus has worked, or hope he will work, in their life today.

St. Scholastica Monastery
We, the Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery, Duluth, Minnesota, are monastic women who seek God in community through a life of prayer and work. Living in accordance with the Gospel, the Rule of St. Benedict, and the General and Specific Norms of the Monastic Congregation of St. Benedict, we respond to the needs of the Church and the world through our ministries.
Our days are centered on communal and personal prayer and on the meditative reading of scripture. As we grow ever closer to Christ, our eyes and ears are opened to others around us, and we hear God’s calling to become Christ in our human relationships. Thus our prayer leads directly to ministry and work.
Work is key to Benedictine spirituality. It is through creative and productive work that we become co-creators of God’s world. In St. Benedict’s time, only slaves and the poor had to work. St. Benedict, on the other hand, saw work as redemptive and creative, a way to pray while using one’s God-given talents. We encourage each other to develop our individual talents and rejoice in the sharing of these gifts through our variety of ministries.
Catecases
“Catecases” are Catholic smartphone accessories for the top-selling smartphones. We aim to provide solid protection and functional design that also displays elements of faith. We began in 2013 after just looking for a simple case that had a cross, or some element of our faith that we were happy to share.
Our Patrons are St. Therese, after whom we modeled our vision, and St. Joseph, who was a carpenter and found meaning in his work, teaching his kid a thing or two about working with earthly materials and fashioning them into something for practical use.
These simple reminders have more of an impact on our daily lives than we know. We receive stories from those who use our cases and are deeply touched. Whether a neat design kickstarted a conversation about the faith, or whether repeating the verse or phrase on the back during a trying time helps us continue to do what we do with excellence.
