Awakening 2012 - Day 18 to 24 Leicester - by Joyce



“The best day of my life, thank you Jesus Youth, my life has changed.” - Martina Guedes.

The seven days of Awakening in Leicester we held at the Sacred Heart Parish, from the 10th to the 17th of March. The Leicester Jesus youth arranged a program during the first two days of the adoration encouraging a participation of about 60 youth. Throughout the adoration the main intention being prayed for was the Re-evangelization of England and a strong plea to strengthen our own faith . The adoration was well attended by people from all age groups, but the presence of JY prayer group members of Leicester seemed prominent, at all times. These young people were ever so keen to spend time with the Lord. Their commitment to the mission could be seen as they stayed up praying at night, coming straight from work or colleges. In doing so, we strengthened our own faith and awakened many more. Many described the experience as serene, peaceful and powerful. A week on, the adoration was concluded with the celebration of the Holy Mass which brought us together as one family.
