Brother Adam Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Just got back from a youth conference, many of which Life Teen helps run (though not those on campus where we went). If you removed all of the teens, it could have been anywhere traditional. Altar servers were in cassocks and surplices. Exposition and Benediction were done exactly as in the rubrics. Latin was used, as were many traditional hymns such as O Come All Ye Faithful. They never said anything about the charismatic gifts and let the Spirit move where it would. The focus of the talks were on love as an act of the will not feelings, conversion, the Mass, and the Sacraments. About the only thing that would have driven traditionalists mad was the praise and worship during adoration. One girl had her broken ankle healed, one of our teens was convicted to go to confession having never been before, and all of our teens came out of the conference with a deeper love of Jesus. Our Masses were presided by Bishop John Barres of Allentown, PA.

Even if you knew, could you tell the difference?

Sirklawd Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) LifeTeen (as it is now, not as it started) is the best thing that is happening to the church in the next 30 years. Period. When this generation gets older and is in charge, the lion of the church will be awake again, and the flabby, flacid, apathetic, watered-down modernist evil that has infected the church the last 30 years will finally be driven out. See Lifeteen is not meant to be a single solitary vehicle for a persons entire faith journey. It's meant to do one thing, bring [u]teens[/u] closer to Christ (generally assuming they are no where near Christ to begin with). Once they are there, once they begin to fall in love with the faith and Christ, then they will fly on their own discovering the full wonder and beauty of the faith. College-level kids, after 4 years of high school Lifeteen can't be fed any more by Lifeteen. It's kids-table stuff. They need more. But the most important part, the part that shows why LT is so great, is that they [i]want[/i] more. They want to keep going and go deeper. Arguments can (and will always) be made about music during Mass, but in terms of church teaching Lifeteen is the most non-watered down thing for anyone under 20 (and barring a few examples, over). Youth Rallies are great, but check out the Lifeteen Leadership Conference if you want thick, glorious teaching. It's like an entire confirmation program in 5 days. (and unlike nearly every confirmation program, teens actually want more once they leave) Edited July 6, 2011 by Sirklawd
MithLuin Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Why are you trying to have a focused and civilized discussion on Life Teen in this threa?
