Faith Youth Day - Scarborough ii
A Report on The Faith Youth Day from Mekha Moncey Thomas
I thought the Faith Youth Day in Scarborough was really good; the talks were interesting and during the day we had breaks like going for a nice walk or playing sports. We spent time with friends and met new people. About 30 of us came from Hull altogether there was about 50 people at Scarborough, which shows I wasn't the only one looking forward to be there. Throughout the day we had great fun and I can't wait for the next Youth Day.

Seder Meal
A Better knowledge of the Jewish people's faith and religious life as professed and even lived now can help our better understanding of certain aspects of Christian Liturgy.... The relationship between Jewish liturgy and Christian liturgy, but also their differences in content, are particularly evident in the great feasts of the liturgical year, such as the Passover. Christians and Jews both celebrate the Passover. For Jews, it is the Passover of history, tending towards the future; for Christians, it is the Passover fulfilled in the death and Resurrection of Christ, though always in expectation of its definitive consummation. C.F CCC1096
The table is all set
Mother lights the candles - "As the light for the celebration of our redemption is lit by a woman, we remember that Jesus, our redeemer, the promised Light of the world, came into the world through the obedience of a woman, too, who has become the Blessed Mother of us all"

Father (or oldest man) pours everyone a first cup of wine! (well grape juice actually)
Ritual washing of hands.
The green parsley - A sign of life, we dip it in salt water to remind us of our ancestors tears and of how miserable our own sin makes us.
The Bitter herbs!
The Passover Lamb - The Shank Bone- Many thanks to our local butcher.
The Passover Seder that we used has been adapted for Christian use, instructions for your own Seder meal can be found here. As this was the last youth club before we begin Holy Week, this seemed a good close to the Lenten season.

Exodus 20
One of the problems we sometimes have when going to confession is: "what do I say?"
We are all very good at seeing the faults in other people and even blaming others for our own mistakes, but when it comes to looking our own sins, we make all sorts of excuses. That is why to make a good confession we need to take a closer look at ourselves and see us not compared to the people around us but the person that God asks us to be. Tonight we did just that.
First we listened to the account in Exodus of God giving the Ten Commandments and linked this to Jesus summing up the commandments in Mt 22:34-40. Then we used the commandments to see where we were going wrong. As this was all going we had the opportunity to go to Our Blessed Lord through the sacrament of confession. (Well done everyone for going and thanks to Fr John)
We finished the night back in the hall with a game of dodge ball.

Lent - Prayer
This Friday we took the opertunity to look at contemplative prayer and spent a bit of time looking at the importance of trying to listen to God and what better time to start than during Lent. After running through a few different methods including lectio divina, picking a line of scripture as a mantra through the day or week, the examen, and contemplation in silence we were encouraged to take some time each day be it only a minute in the morning to offer the day to God and and night to thank Him.
Then we played a game where you are in pairs one blindfolded and the other at the other end of the room. The one who can see has to call directions to the partner guiding them through a maze to the end. This was naturally a very symbolic game showing how you had to try and hear your partners message (or God) calling through the noise of the other teams.
We broke for a piece of birthday cake (well all those who had not given it up for Lent!) and then finished with silent meditation.
