I teach Faith Formation to 10th graders at St John/St Mary's. Tonight I thought we had another mini-retreat so didn't prepare anything. We had regular class, and it didn't go great. I 'mixed it up' again.
Last weekend I attended a Youth retreat - about 200 young people and maybe 80 adults were there. This was really Catholic - the blessed sacrament was exposed on a 'burning bush' alter which also had 80 lit candles, and was about 7 feet high. There were about 10 priests there, and confessions were going on all during the three day retreat. The music was awesome. I got to 'mix it up' with a lot of very fired-up young people. It was great.
In today's gospel, when Jesus encountered the 10 lepers - it was a 'mixed up' group: there was at least one foreigner, and that person turned out to be the only one grateful enough to go back and say thank you.
