 What can we do at a time when the truth of the Church is under attack in our own cities, parishes, homes, and even at times in our own hearts? As every day arises with its new joys, sorrows, challenges, and distractions, we can easily become wrapped up in the repetition of days that we forget what it truly means to live, to have life, and have it abundantly. We forget that we are called at every stage of life to know and experience the love of Christ, to seek Him with renewed passion, to deepen our love of Him through shared community, through prayer, through the Scriptures, through the Spirit, and through the sacraments. What can we do? We can come together and counter Christ and be empowered and equipped to go and rebuild His Church. We as humans always get into a rut of just life and just kind of getting into the busyness of life. And one really important thing is that we need to pull away from our lives every once in a while and just spend some time doing something that's going to increase our spirituality. This is the Studentville conferences offer adults that opportunity. When you open up the Gospel of John in the first chapter, it's very simple. He tells people, come and see, come and see. We're striving to restore all things in Christ, to restore to what the original vision of the founder was, of our God was, that we'd be good and faithful, to restore all things, to be able to reach out to all of our brothers and sisters, to help them, to bring them into that relationship with Christ. Our faith is not just to be like, oh, I just come and I re-encounter God and His love, and I just sit there and say, oh, God loves me, God loves me. This is so wonderful. The response to that, God loves me, God loves me, is a life of service to the church and to one another. As we need to go back, instead of just seeing the people with the crowd, go back and start loving the people, get close to them, pour ourselves out to them, for them, with them. Go rebuild the church is not just the church or the diocese of Studentville or the church here in the local community. It is the United States, it is the world that we need to be able to be prepared to embrace. No matter which one of the five conferences that we offer for the adults, at the heart of it is simply, we want to help people have that renewed encounter with the love of Christ. The proof is in the tasting, so come taste and see that the Lord is good. He is present at Franciscan University, nobody goes away disappointed. People really do encounter Christ at this special place and through these conferences.
