| In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen | In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen | சிலுவை அடையாளம் பிதா சுதன் பரிசுத்த ஆவியின் பெயராலே, - ஆமென். | தந்தை மகன் தூய ஆவியின் பெயராலே - ஆமென். |
| Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus, descendit ad infernos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. Amen. | I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day, he rose again. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

திருக்குறள் - அறத்துப்பால்: துறவு
Renunciation according to Thirukkural
341
யாதனின் யாதனின் நீங்கியான் நோதல்
அதனின் அதனின் இலன்.
ஒருவன் எந்த எந்தப் பொருளிலிருந்து பற்று விடுபட்டவன் ஆகின்றானோ, அவன் அந்த அந்தப் பொருளால் துன்பம் அடைவதில்லை.
- From whatever, aye, whatever, man gets free, From that, aye, from that, no more of pain hath he!
342
வேண்டின் உண் டாகத் துறக்க துறந்தபின்
ஈண்டு இயற் பால பல.
துன்பம் அற்ற வாழ்வை விரும்பினால் ஆசைகளை எல்லாம் விட்டுவிடல் வேண்டும்; அப்படி விட்டு விட்டபின் இவ்வுலகில் அடையக்கூடிய இன்பம் பலவாகும்.
- Renunciation made-even here true pleasures men acquire; Renounce While time is yet, if to those pleasures you aspire.
343
அடல்வேண்டும் ஐந்தன் புலத்தை விடல்வேண்டும்
வேண்டிய எல்லாம் ஒருங்கு.
ஐந்து வகையான புலன்களின் ஆசைகளையும் அடக்கி வெல்லுதல் வேண்டும்; அவற்றிற்கு வேண்டிய பொருளாசைகளையெல்லாம் ஒருசேர விட்டு விடுதல் வேண்டும்.
- Perceptions of the five must all expire:- Relinquished in its order each desire.
344
இயல்பாகும் நோன்பிற்கொன்று இன்மை உடைமை
மயலாகும் மற்றும் பெயர்த்து.
ஒரு பொருளின்மீது ஆசையற்றிருத்தலே தவநெறியின் இயல்பாகும்; ஆசையுள்ளதானால் மீண்டும் உலக போகத்தில் மயங்குவதற்கு வழியாகும்.
- Privation absolute is penance true; Possession brings bewilderment anew.
345
மற்றும் தொடர்ப்பாடு எவன்கொல் பிறப்பறுக்கல்
உற்றார்க்கு உடம்பும் மிகை.
பிறவித் துன்பத்தை ஒழிக்க முயல்பவர்கட்கு உடம்பு மிகையான பொருள்; ஆகவே, அதற்கு மற்ற ஆசைகளின் தொடர்பு கொள்வது எதற்காகவோ?
- To those who severance seek from beings varied strife, Flesh is burthen sore; what then other bonds of life?
346
யான்எனது என்னும் செருக்குஅறுப்பான் வானோர்க்கு
உயர்ந்த உலகம் புகும்.
உடலை யான் எனவும், பொருள்களை எனது எனவும் நினைக்கின்ற மயக்கத்தை அறுத்தெறிகின்றவன் வானோர்க்கும் எட்டாத உயர்ந்த உலகம் சேர்வான்.
- Who kills conceit that utters I and mine, Shall enter realms above the powers divine.
347
பற்றி விடாஅ இடும்பைகள் பற்றினைப்
பற்றி விடாஅ தவர்க்கு.
பொருள்களின் மீதுள்ள பற்றுகளையே இறுகப் பற்றிக் கொண்டு ஆசையை விடாதவரையில், துன்பங்களும் விடாமல் பற்றிக் கொண்டிருக்கும்.
- Who cling to things that cling and eager clasp, Grieves cling to them with unrelaxing grasp.
348
தலைப்பட்டார் தீரத் துறந்தார் மயங்கி
வலைப்பட்டார் மற்றை யவர்.
முற்றுந் துறந்தவரே மேலான நிலையினர் ஆவர்; மற்றையோர் மயங்கி ஆசை வலையில் அகப்பட்டுக் கொண்டவர்களே ஆவர்.
- Who thoroughly renounce on highest height are set; The rest, bewildered, lie entangled in the net.
349
பற்றற்ற கண்ணே பிறப்பறுக்கும் மற்று
நிலையாமை காணப் படும்.
இருவகைப் பற்றுகளும் அறுந்து போன அப்பொழுதே அந்நிலை. பிறவித் துன்பத்தை ஒழிக்கும்; மேலும் உலக நிலையாமையும் அப்பொழுதே காணப்படும்.
- When that which clings falls off, severed is beings tie; All else will then be seen as instability.
350
பற்றுக பற்றற்றான் பற்றினை அப்பற்றைப்
பற்றுக பற்று விடற்கு.
பற்றில்லாதவனான இறைவனது பற்றினை மட்டிலுமே விடாது பற்றுக. உலகப் பற்றுகளை விடுவதற்காக, அதனையே எப்போதும் விடாமல் பற்றிக் கொள்க.
- Cling thou to the which He, to whom naught clings, hath bid thee cling, Cling to that bond, to get thee free from every clinging thing.

What so ever you do to the least of my brothers you do unto me

Abdul Kalam's letter to Every Indian
Why is the media here so negative? Why we are in India so embarrassed our own strength our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan; he has transferred the tribal village into a self -sustaining, self- driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspapers. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five year had transformed his desert into an orchard and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments and deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism and crime...Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question; why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign TVs foreign shirts foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported? Do we not realize that self- respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving a lecture, when a 14 years old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life was. She replied: I want to live in a developed India. You must prove, ''India is not an underdeveloped nation; it is a highly developed nation.''
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say...
But what do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name -'YOURS'. Give him a face- 'YOURS' .you walk out of the airport and you are at your international best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the rods or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground as they are...You pay $5 (approx.Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to the parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status or identity.... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?
YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else'. YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?) I am so and so's son. Take your two and get lost.
YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand...
`Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo?
We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. The same is the case in Japan...
Will the Indian do that here? Never, we go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop too pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff!
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child and others we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change. How will it matter if I alone forego my son's rights to a dowry?
So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us, it consists of our neighbours, other household, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. clean to come along and work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand...
Or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system, When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war-struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan; he has transferred the tribal village into a self -sustaining, self- driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.
I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspapers. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five year had transformed his desert into an orchard and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments and deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism and crime...Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question; why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign TVs foreign shirts foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported? Do we not realize that self- respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving a lecture, when a 14 years old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life was. She replied: I want to live in a developed India. You must prove, ''India is not an underdeveloped nation; it is a highly developed nation.''
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say...
But what do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name -'YOURS'. Give him a face- 'YOURS' .you walk out of the airport and you are at your international best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the rods or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground as they are...You pay $5 (approx.Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to the parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status or identity.... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU?
YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else'. YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?) I am so and so's son. Take your two and get lost.
YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand...
`Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo?
We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. The same is the case in Japan...
Will the Indian do that here? Never, we go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop too pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.

Let us ask the Sacred Heart for any favours we wish, and also to bless us all and keep us together. (Sing a Hymn).
7.Petition Prayers
(a) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I fly, I come to Thee, throwing myself into the arms of Thy tender mercy. Thou art my sure refuge, my unfailing and only hope. Thou has a remedy for all my evils, relief for all my miseries, reparation for all my faults, Thou canst supply for what is wanting in me in order to obtain fully the graces that I ask for myself and others. Thou art for me, and for us all, the infallible, inexhaustible source of light, of strength, of perseverance, peace and consolation. I am certain that my importunity will never weary Thee; certain, too, that Thou wilt never cease to aid, to protect, to love me, because Thy love for me, O Divine Heart, is infinite.
Have mercy on me then, O Heart of Jesus, and on all that I recommend to Thee, according to Thy own mercy, and do with us, for us, and in us, whatsoever Thou will, for we abandon ourselves to Thee with the full, entire confidence and conviction that Thou will never abandon us either in time or eternity. Amen.
(b) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to Thee, to be without pity for those who are suffering or in distress. Look down, we beseech Thee, on us, and grant us the grace which we humbly, and earnestly implore Thee, through the Immaculate Heart of Thy sorrowful Mother to whom Thou did confide us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with Thee. Amen.
8.Consecration Prayer
O most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, behold us prostrate most humbly before Thy altar.
To Thee we belong; Thine we wish to be; and, that we may be united to Thee most closely, we dedicate ourselves each one of us today to Thy most Sacred Heart. Many have never known Thee, many, despising Thy commands, have rejected Thee. Have pity on them, most merciful Jesus, and draw all men to Thy Sacred Heart. Rule, O Lord, not only over the faithful who never have gone away from Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee, and make them return quickly to their Father's house, lest they perish of misery and hunger. Rule over those who have been misled by errror, or separated by schism, and call them back to the haven of truth and the unity of faith, so that there may be soon be one fold and one Shepherd.
Lastly, rule over all who are sunk in the old superstition of the Gentiles, and vouchsafe to bring them out of darkness into the light and kingdom of God. Give to Thy Church, O Lord, safety and sure liberty; give to all nations peace and order; and grant that, over the whole earth from pole to pole, may resound the words, "Praise be to the Divine Heart through which was brought to us salvation, glory and hanour be it for ever." Amen.
(A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who piously recite this Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is recited publicly on the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King.)
9.Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the Divine Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
To Jesus' Heart, all burning,
With fervent love for men,
My heart with yondest yearning,
Shall raise the joyful strain.
Chorus:-
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue.
O Heart for me on fire,
With love no man can speak,
My yet untold desire,
God gives me for Thy sake.

7.Petition Prayers
(a) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I fly, I come to Thee, throwing myself into the arms of Thy tender mercy. Thou art my sure refuge, my unfailing and only hope. Thou has a remedy for all my evils, relief for all my miseries, reparation for all my faults, Thou canst supply for what is wanting in me in order to obtain fully the graces that I ask for myself and others. Thou art for me, and for us all, the infallible, inexhaustible source of light, of strength, of perseverance, peace and consolation. I am certain that my importunity will never weary Thee; certain, too, that Thou wilt never cease to aid, to protect, to love me, because Thy love for me, O Divine Heart, is infinite.
Have mercy on me then, O Heart of Jesus, and on all that I recommend to Thee, according to Thy own mercy, and do with us, for us, and in us, whatsoever Thou will, for we abandon ourselves to Thee with the full, entire confidence and conviction that Thou will never abandon us either in time or eternity. Amen.
(b) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to Thee, to be without pity for those who are suffering or in distress. Look down, we beseech Thee, on us, and grant us the grace which we humbly, and earnestly implore Thee, through the Immaculate Heart of Thy sorrowful Mother to whom Thou did confide us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with Thee. Amen.
8.Consecration Prayer
O most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, behold us prostrate most humbly before Thy altar.
To Thee we belong; Thine we wish to be; and, that we may be united to Thee most closely, we dedicate ourselves each one of us today to Thy most Sacred Heart. Many have never known Thee, many, despising Thy commands, have rejected Thee. Have pity on them, most merciful Jesus, and draw all men to Thy Sacred Heart. Rule, O Lord, not only over the faithful who never have gone away from Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee, and make them return quickly to their Father's house, lest they perish of misery and hunger. Rule over those who have been misled by errror, or separated by schism, and call them back to the haven of truth and the unity of faith, so that there may be soon be one fold and one Shepherd.
Lastly, rule over all who are sunk in the old superstition of the Gentiles, and vouchsafe to bring them out of darkness into the light and kingdom of God. Give to Thy Church, O Lord, safety and sure liberty; give to all nations peace and order; and grant that, over the whole earth from pole to pole, may resound the words, "Praise be to the Divine Heart through which was brought to us salvation, glory and hanour be it for ever." Amen.
(A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who piously recite this Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is recited publicly on the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King.)
9.Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the Divine Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
To Jesus' Heart, all burning,
With fervent love for men,
My heart with yondest yearning,
Shall raise the joyful strain.
Chorus:-
While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue,
The Sacred Heart of Jesus,
By every heart and tongue.
O Heart for me on fire,
With love no man can speak,
My yet untold desire,
God gives me for Thy sake.

YOUTH WORK - 7 DIMENSIONAL APPROACHES
For whom is this file meant?
For anyone in a helping profession, especially for youth animators(priests, teachers, counselors and so on).
What are their contents of this file?
As such, they are a tool in the hands of the trained animator.Tools, nothing more, nothing else.By themselves, those papers will not turn anyone into an effective youth worker.
The whole point of training programme is precisely this:
Youth ministry (or any ministry, for that matter) depends mostly on the quality of the youth animator and on the relationships and atmosphere he hopes to create. It is not a theoretical problem to be solved through files, lectures or discussions.
How can I use the material provided here?
You can use it in a wide variety of ways, provided you have (1) gone through the training seminars; and (2) have some direct experience of youth work. There is no substitute for either of these to requisites.
The youth worker, we believe needs to be:
1. A person of inner balance basically happy and emotionally healthy.
2. A person who is able to relate to others and understand the basics of human relationships.
3. The person who can lead, be in charge of a group, help people in distress, communicate effectively.
4. A person who understands the needs and problems of young people.
5. A person with a critical grasp of our society.
6. A person open to various orientations in youth work, willing to learn from them.
7. A person of deep faith, happy to share with others the Lord's love and goodness.
Will all this preparation help the animator, too?
Yes, apart from his contribution to the growth and happiness of so many young people (who from more than half of our population), he himself matures receives love, keeps young to quite Arthur young Pinero
Dimensions one and two: PERSONAL GROWTH AND RELATIONSHIPS
Anyone engaged in a helping profession a priest, a teacher, counsellor, doctor, social worker... Needs to develop his own personality; to grow as a responsible, caring, happy individuals, who is able to relate to people and bring out the best in others?
This is particularly true of youth work: Youth ministry, in fact, is not based on a set of techniques nor on a theoretical grasp of youth problems. It is essentially a set of relationships. The better you can relate the more effective your ministry will be. And, to begin with you yourself need to come to grips with your penitential and your flaws, and to be engaged in a constant effort at self renewal.
Dimensions one and two of our programme are aimed at helping the youth worker to become a stronger, happier person, able to relate, to understand. It also initiates him to the group dynamics style of learning.
Dimension three: LEADERSHIP
DIMENSION THREE IN OUR TRAINING PROGRAMME IS LEADERSHIP
* What do you do when you are in charge of group?
* How good a leader are you?
* How can you become more effective leader?
The following training sessions answer this session at a practical level. (as always, you will learn and teach no by reading the notes or lecturing on them, but by going through the exercise with a group).
A leader needs to communicate well. Communication is a vast subject and cannot be covered in a couple of session.All we have here is morsel. You will need to learn more on in your own.
As a leader or helper you will lead to perfect your helping skills such as listening, responding, and understanding various problems and symptoms. This is why we bring in a bit of counseling in this section.
Dimension four: YOUTH PSYCHOLOGY
Studies on youth have become a minor industry in the recent decades. most of the studies are done in America. While we learn from them these important to keep in mind the cultural differences between a Californian teenage and a youngster living in Kumbakonam. Western studies throw light on the common psychological needs, problems and expectations of adolescents. They also alert us to some problems our youth face (or will soon face), especially in the cities. They invite us, above all, to undertake serious and extensive research on our youth. This is an area where enormous gapes have to be filled.
Dimension Five: Social Awareness
A young person's questions, view, hardships and dreams are sharped to a serious grasp of the social conditions of our adolescents.
This is an area that youth movements are concentrating on with increasing interest.
There is a growing sense of the structural injustices of society, of the need for change, of an intelligent and articulate presentation of how our society works.
This concern is by no means restricted to youth workers. Experts from different fields can be brought in to help the youth worker (and youth) get a vision of our society.
Dimension Six: VISION AND STRATEGY
Covered so far are:
1.The youth worker's growth as a person.
2.Human relationships, how they work, how they can be better.
3.Styles of leaderships and ways of becoming better leaders.
4.A Sympathetic understanding of the needs and problems of adolescents and
5.Critical grasp of our society.
In this sixth section, we reflect on our goals and methods, and formulate strategies.
* What is my vision of youth work?
* Which are the main youth movements and organizations that operate in our country and world wide?
* What are their respective approaches?
* What can I learn from others' experiences?
* Which approaches will work best in my context?
* These and other questions of policy, methodology and praxis are covered in Dimension Six
Dimension Seven: Faith
* What do you really believe in?
* What is the purpose of your ministry with youth?
* How do you find God in this work?
* How do you share the Lord's love with the young?
* Each of us needs to answer theses questions for himself?
We need to develop enough inner strength to carry on each day to love the unloved, to start again failure, to forgive and not to be discouraged.
The Secret Of Such Strength is Faith
* Faith in the Lord, in His love and presence and plans.
* Faith calling us to a loving commitment.
* Faith showing us the Lord's face in every face, behind the different questions and the vanished hopes.
* Faith that shows us our tremendous possibilities for the ministry, if we are united with the source.
For anyone in a helping profession, especially for youth animators(priests, teachers, counselors and so on).
What are their contents of this file?
*Material use in our training seminars for your animators.
*These papers are not notes to be read, like a road.
*They are not lecture notes, nor are most of them self-explanatory.
*They make sense chiefly as training material.
As such, they are a tool in the hands of the trained animator.Tools, nothing more, nothing else.By themselves, those papers will not turn anyone into an effective youth worker.

Those who love deeply
Never grow old
They may die of old age
But they die young
May you grow up, grow old help many and die young!

Call [Name(s)] to be numbered in the fellowship of your saints. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
PRAYER BEFORE CRUCIFIX :
Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in your sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech that you would impress upon my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity, true repentance for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment, while with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate your five most precious wounds, having before my eyes that which David spoke in prophecy of you, O good Jesus: "They have pierced my hands and feet, they have numbered all my bones."

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day, he rose again. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

THE ROSARY :
There are many devotions in the Catholic Church that help us in our growth as Christians. Among them the holy Rosary occupies a pre-eminent place because of its beauty, simplicity and the depth of its richness. It is universal in its appeal. Children lisp it on their mother's lap. Mature people have recourse to it in times of difficulty. It comes as a solace in old age. It strengthens family bonds. The Rosary is a compendium of the Gospel. It contains in capsule form all the essentials of the Gospel.
PRAYING THE ROSARY:
Rosary beads consist of a small cross, a series of beads in a circular arrangement of five strands of ten beads each separated by a single bead. On each bead in the string of ten beads a Hail Mary is prayed; the single beads are the for the Lord's Prayer.
The purpose of the rosary, however, is not to recite rote prayers but to repeat prayers you know by heart as you contemplate, actively meditate on, a mystery of Christianity. A mystery in this context is an important event whose whole meaning you won't fully understand in this world.
For 900 years there have been three series of mysteries: the Joyous Mysteries (Christ's Incarnation) the Sorrowful Mysteries (Christ's suffering and death) and the Glorious Mysteries (Christ's resurrection). Pope John Paul II has added a new set of areas of contemplation -- the Luminous Mysteries, which encompass Christ's ministry on earth. This isn't so much an addition to a tradition as the filling of a gap. The Joyful Mysteries end with Christ being found, at age 12, teaching in the temple. The Sorrowful Mysteries start with Christ suffering in Gethsemane the night before his death. It was odd to contemplate the Joyful Mysteries one day and jump to the Sorrowful Mysteries the next; something was missing -- what Jesus said and did as an adult.
The rosary had been as it was for almost a millennium. Why did Pope John Paul change it? "He is making a statement at the end of his life about what's important to him," says Father C.J. McCloskey of Washington's Catholic Information Center. "By adding these mysteries he is saying, 'This is another invitation to look closely at the life of Christ--to contemplate and meditate.'" While meditating, the person reciting the prayers is brought closer to Jesus and his Mother Mary.
"Step-By-Step" Instructions for Praying The Rosary
Beginning with the Rosary's Cross: Begin as with all prayers In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. (making the sign of the Cross while doing that)
On the single bead just above the cross, pray the Apostles Creed. This and all prayers of the rosary are meditative prayers
The next cluster of beads are 3 bead, the "Hail Mary" prayer is said on these three beads. You pray the 3 Hail Marys while meditating on the three divine virtues of faith, hope, and love/charity.
On the next bead, which is a single bead, you announce the first divine mystery of contemplation. For example, if it were a Monday, you would say the first Joyful Mystery is "The Annunciation", at this point you pray the "Our Father" prayer.
Now this will bring you to the first decade, or set of 10 beads of the Rosary. You will then pray 10 Hail Marys while contemplating the first mystery, example: The Annunciation.
After the 10th Hail Mary you will have completed the first of 5 decades which make up a Chaplet of the Rosary. You now come to another single bead, at this point, you pray the... Glory be to the Father... then (on the same bead) pray the O My Jesus... then (on the same bead) announce the next or second mystery. For example: if its Monday and your praying the Joyful Mysteries, the second Joyful Mystery is The Visitation. At this point you pray the Our Father....
You will now come to the second decade or group of 10 beads, you will now pray the 10 Hail Marys while contemplating the appropriate mystery.
You continue to pray the rosary the same way throughout. If your intention is to pray a Chaplet (a single set of mysteries) at the end of the fifth mystery you will come back to the joiner, this is where the decades all join with the lower part of the rosary which contains the cross. When you come to the joiner, you decide whether or not you wish to say another Chaplet or end. If you decide to say another Chaplet you simply announce the next mystery and continue. If you wish to end, you simply say the Glory Be To The Father, the O My Jesus, The Our Father and end the rosary with the Hail Holy Queen and the sign of the Cross
THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY :
The Rosary is divided into three parts, each having five mysteries. While reciting each mystery, begin by praying one "Our Father", three "Hail Mary's" and the "Glory Be" (which makes up one decade):
THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES
(Recite Mondays and Saturdays, and Sundays during Advent)
1. The annunciation that Mary is to be Mother of the Savior (Lk 1:26-38).
2. The visitation of Mary to Elizabeth (Lk 1:39 47).
3. The nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ (Lk 2:1-7).
4. The presentation of the Infant Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:22- 32).
5. The finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:41-52)
THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
(Recite Tuesdays and Fridays, also Sundays during Lent):
1. The agony of Christ in the garden (Mk 14:32-36).
2. The scourging of Jesus (Jn 18:28-38;19:1).
3. The crowning with thorns (Mk 15:16-20).
4. The carrying of the cross (Jn 19:l2-16).
5. The crucifixion of Jesus (Lk 23:33-34; 39-46).
THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
(Recite Sundays and Wednesdays, also Sundays from Easter until Advent)
1. The resurrection of Jesus (Lk 24:1-6).
2. The ascension of Jesus into Heaven (Lk 24:50-53).
3. The descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4).
4. The assumption of Mary into heaven (Songs 2:8-14).
5. The coronation of our Lady in heaven (Rev 12:1-6)
THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES
(Mysteries of Light)
In addition to the joyful, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries, Pope John Paul II recommended that the Luminous Mysteries be recited on Thursdays. The "Mysteries of Light" are drawn from the life of Christ, and his public revelation of his divine nature and mission. They are:
1) The Baptism of Christ in the Jordan (Mt 3:113-17)
2) The wedding feast at Cana (Jn 2:1-11)
3) The announcement of the Kingdom (Lk 4:14-21)
4) The Transfiguration (Mk 9:2-8)
5) The Institution of the Eucharist (Lk 22:14-20)
GLORY BE to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
After each decade pray the FATIMA PRAYER
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
Pray "HAIL HOLY QUEEN" after the five decades:
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Amen.
FATIMA PRAYER:
Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - I adore thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences whereby He is offended.

Amen

NICENE CREED :
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

May the Divine Assistance remain always with us, and may the Souls of the Faithful Departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Charles E. Olson

THE ROSARY :
There are many devotions in the Catholic Church that help us in our growth as Christians. Among them the holy Rosary occupies a pre-eminent place because of its beauty, simplicity and the depth of its richness. It is universal in its appeal. Children lisp it on their mother's lap. Mature people have recourse to it in times of difficulty. It comes as a solace in old age. It strengthens family bonds. The Rosary is a compendium of the Gospel. It contains in capsule form all the essentials of the Gospel.
PRAYING THE ROSARY:
Rosary beads consist of a small cross, a series of beads in a circular arrangement of five strands of ten beads each separated by a single bead. On each bead in the string of ten beads a Hail Mary is prayed; the single beads are the for the Lord's Prayer.
The purpose of the rosary, however, is not to recite rote prayers but to repeat prayers you know by heart as you contemplate, actively meditate on, a mystery of Christianity. A mystery in this context is an important event whose whole meaning you won't fully understand in this world.
For 900 years there have been three series of mysteries: the Joyous Mysteries (Christ's Incarnation) the Sorrowful Mysteries (Christ's suffering and death) and the Glorious Mysteries (Christ's resurrection). Pope John Paul II has added a new set of areas of contemplation -- the Luminous Mysteries, which encompass Christ's ministry on earth. This isn't so much an addition to a tradition as the filling of a gap. The Joyful Mysteries end with Christ being found, at age 12, teaching in the temple. The Sorrowful Mysteries start with Christ suffering in Gethsemane the night before his death. It was odd to contemplate the Joyful Mysteries one day and jump to the Sorrowful Mysteries the next; something was missing -- what Jesus said and did as an adult.
The rosary had been as it was for almost a millennium. Why did Pope John Paul change it? "He is making a statement at the end of his life about what's important to him," says Father C.J. McCloskey of Washington's Catholic Information Center. "By adding these mysteries he is saying, 'This is another invitation to look closely at the life of Christ--to contemplate and meditate.'" While meditating, the person reciting the prayers is brought closer to Jesus and his Mother Mary.
"Step-By-Step" Instructions for Praying The Rosary
Beginning with the Rosary's Cross: Begin as with all prayers In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. (making the sign of the Cross while doing that)
On the single bead just above the cross, pray the Apostles Creed. This and all prayers of the rosary are meditative prayers
The next cluster of beads are 3 bead, the "Hail Mary" prayer is said on these three beads. You pray the 3 Hail Marys while meditating on the three divine virtues of faith, hope, and love/charity.
On the next bead, which is a single bead, you announce the first divine mystery of contemplation. For example, if it were a Monday, you would say the first Joyful Mystery is "The Annunciation", at this point you pray the "Our Father" prayer.
Now this will bring you to the first decade, or set of 10 beads of the Rosary. You will then pray 10 Hail Marys while contemplating the first mystery, example: The Annunciation.
After the 10th Hail Mary you will have completed the first of 5 decades which make up a Chaplet of the Rosary. You now come to another single bead, at this point, you pray the... Glory be to the Father... then (on the same bead) pray the O My Jesus... then (on the same bead) announce the next or second mystery. For example: if its Monday and your praying the Joyful Mysteries, the second Joyful Mystery is The Visitation. At this point you pray the Our Father....
You will now come to the second decade or group of 10 beads, you will now pray the 10 Hail Marys while contemplating the appropriate mystery.
You continue to pray the rosary the same way throughout. If your intention is to pray a Chaplet (a single set of mysteries) at the end of the fifth mystery you will come back to the joiner, this is where the decades all join with the lower part of the rosary which contains the cross. When you come to the joiner, you decide whether or not you wish to say another Chaplet or end. If you decide to say another Chaplet you simply announce the next mystery and continue. If you wish to end, you simply say the Glory Be To The Father, the O My Jesus, The Our Father and end the rosary with the Hail Holy Queen and the sign of the Cross
THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY :
The Rosary is divided into three parts, each having five mysteries. While reciting each mystery, begin by praying one "Our Father", three "Hail Mary's" and the "Glory Be" (which makes up one decade):
THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES
(Recite Mondays and Saturdays, and Sundays during Advent)
1. The annunciation that Mary is to be Mother of the Savior (Lk 1:26-38).
2. The visitation of Mary to Elizabeth (Lk 1:39 47).
3. The nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ (Lk 2:1-7).
4. The presentation of the Infant Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:22- 32).
5. The finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:41-52)
THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
(Recite Tuesdays and Fridays, also Sundays during Lent):
1. The agony of Christ in the garden (Mk 14:32-36).
2. The scourging of Jesus (Jn 18:28-38;19:1).
3. The crowning with thorns (Mk 15:16-20).
4. The carrying of the cross (Jn 19:l2-16).
5. The crucifixion of Jesus (Lk 23:33-34; 39-46).
THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
(Recite Sundays and Wednesdays, also Sundays from Easter until Advent)
1. The resurrection of Jesus (Lk 24:1-6).
2. The ascension of Jesus into Heaven (Lk 24:50-53).
3. The descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4).
4. The assumption of Mary into heaven (Songs 2:8-14).
5. The coronation of our Lady in heaven (Rev 12:1-6)
THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES
(Mysteries of Light)
In addition to the joyful, sorrowful, and glorious mysteries, Pope John Paul II recommended that the Luminous Mysteries be recited on Thursdays. The "Mysteries of Light" are drawn from the life of Christ, and his public revelation of his divine nature and mission. They are:
1) The Baptism of Christ in the Jordan (Mt 3:113-17)
2) The wedding feast at Cana (Jn 2:1-11)
3) The announcement of the Kingdom (Lk 4:14-21)
4) The Transfiguration (Mk 9:2-8)
5) The Institution of the Eucharist (Lk 22:14-20)
GLORY BE to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
After each decade pray the FATIMA PRAYER
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
Pray "HAIL HOLY QUEEN" after the five decades:
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray.

Amen.
FATIMA PRAYER:
Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - I adore thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences whereby He is offended.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in Your mercy, hear and answer us. Amen.

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY :
Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth, we consecrate ourselves and our families to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people of our country and all the world. Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish Your designs in the world.
O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism; kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully.
We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed Your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine, and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home. Amen.
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART :
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.
I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee. I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants. Amen.
PRAYER FOR THE SEVEN GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT :
O Lord Jesus Christ, before ascending into heaven you did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish your work in the souls of your Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of your grace and your love. Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of your divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with you and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in imitation of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, and the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord with the sign of your true disciples, and animate me in all things with your Spirit. Amen.
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT :
On my knees, before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself, soul and body to you, Eternal Spirit of God. You are the strength and light of my soul and I desire never to grieve you by unfaithfulness. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for your light, and listen to your voice, and follow your gracious inspirations. I cling to you and give myself to you and ask you, by your compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore you Spirit, Helper of my infirmity, to keep me in your grace that I may never sin against you. Give me grace O Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to you always and everywhere, "Speak Lord for your servant listens." Amen.

About Me
- Sacred Heart Seminary
- Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India
- The Sacred Heart Minor Seminary was started by the Bishop Most Rev.A.Chapuis MEP for those who aspired to become Priests. The building was blessed on 25th of November 1926, but its life began to function from 7th January, 1929 with seven students and Fr.A.Xavier as Rector. It was during the Post-Vatican era, that the life of the Seminarians were to be fitted to the renewal in the running of the Seminary. Part-time lay professors were added to the staff. Students were sent up to the College for higher studies. With the help from Opus Sancti Petri, we have a beautiful terraced building surmounted by a large statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Only candidates who have completed S.S.L.C. are admitted for the formation of Priesthood. Falling with the requirements of the Major Seminaries, the syllabus of the Initiation course of Spiritual Formation includes such subjects as Spiritual Life, Introduction to the Sacred Scriptures, Salvation History, Liturgy and Indian Church History. We are paying attention to the study of English language. Carnatic music is also taught. The Seminary is equipped with a good library.
