Youth Corbinian November 2017 at Freising/Germany

Together with quite a number of members of other religious orders and pastoral helpers five of us took part in Youth Corbinian again –– supporting vocations in the Church.

On Friday young people from Bad Tölz spent the night with us at our Heart of Jesus – nunnery, before we started our walk from Munich Cathedral to Freising.

We were joined by numerous young people on the Cathedral Mound for the Night of Culture. At the Holy Service with Cardinal Reinhard Marx several thousand people took the encouragement of their Archbishop to heart to “fight against a culture of hardheartedness and hatred”. That became immediately apparent at the so-called “market of opportunities”.

THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY INTO OURSELVES. Together in a group under the leadership of an “experienced guide” the young people were dwarfed and had to creep through a Nose (which Sr. Odilia had designed) into their Ego. On their journey through various organs they had to fulfil a number of tasks, during which they came to talk about God and themselves, about justice and other questions. They discovered different perspectives and finally arrived at their Heart in tranquility and peace.

“My heart is on fire!” was written on a huge piece of paper that had been put up in the chapel, which was crowded at the end of the day.

We can say that our hearts were also burning for the young people and Youth Corbinian. The good atmosphere among the helpers and religious people and the feedback we got from the young people has kindled the fire of our hearts anew.
