Well. The time has come. You woke up early today, drank some coffee, and loaded up on your way to Steubenville. For some people this is a yearly occurrence, whereas, for others, this is a new concept. While we all gather for one goal, each one of us are in a different story.
Here at the conference, our days have started similarly. The conference staff members and volunteers traveled from all over, and we are just as excited as you. At 10 am, the team gathered together to share in the celebration of the Eucharist with Auxillary Bishop Mark Rivituso of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. During his homily, he talked about costs. That there are costs everyday in our lives that we must weigh, from the cost of shirt to the cost of our faith. As Christ shares with his disciples today in the Gospel, following Him is quite costly.
As Bishop Rivituso says,
“There is a price to pay, and Jesus wants to make sure that we are not going into this with rose-colored glasses.”
