You are a member of Jesus Youth. Why? What does being a JY mean for you?
My call to Jesus Youth Movement was a very special choice from God. During the initial days of my college, I came across a very different and vibrant group of youth who always radiated an extraordinary and exceptional kind of energy which I had noticed in no other group. As the days went by and I became more familiar with my college and its normal life, I came to know about the Jesus Youth team in the college and, surprisingly, this energetic folk were the active members of the JY group. Then I realized the cause of their distinct characteristics. I too was attracted to that movement. Eventually I became an active member of the group. Later on, I was elected as a campus coordinator of Jesus Youth. Since then, JY has been continuously forming and moulding me in such a way to get to know my Lord in a very personal way. JY gave regular formation for being committed to Jesus and a life-style which is focused on personal prayer, sacraments and the Word of God. Being a Jesus Youth always reminds me to radiate the youthfulness of Jesus.
