Hey y'all!
I just wanted to give you a few neat updates on what's been happening here at UNL. There is so much to tell, but here are just a few neat events that I wanted to share:
-A girl that I've been meeting with regularly came back to the sacrament of confession after several years away. Praise God!
-We had a Eucharistic Procession here on campus on the Feast of all Saints which attracted over 200 students.We processed with the Blessed Sacrament around campus for about an hour, singing hymns the whole way. It was one of the most beautiful events that I've ever witnessed.
-An exorcist came to speak here on campus, and about 600 students attended. His message emphasized the fact that God is so much stronger than the devil, and that if we are staying close to God through prayer and the sacraments, we have nothing to fear. Many students came purely out of curiosity, but left with a powerful challenge to recommit their lives to God.
-We are currently in the midst of preparations to take students to a national FOCUS conference down in Florida at the beginning of January. There will be about 6,000 students in attendance from around the country. It'll be quite the crowd! There will be talks about how grow in holiness and live out the Faith in today's culture, as well as Adoration, the sacrament of confession, and Mass. In the past, this event has been instrumental in numerous conversions! We currently have almost 250 students signed up from UNL, with more deciding to join us on this trip every day!
-There are currently a number of students here discerning whether or not they are called to give God either a couple weeks during their summer to go on a missions trip, or at least the next two years of their lives to serve Him as FOCUS missionaries. Please keep them in your prayers!!
