What do you seek?
Jesus asked the disciples this question because he knows their hearts. They were restless in a good way. They did not want to settle for the normal routine of life. They were open to God and were longing for meaning.
Today Jesus directs the same question to each one of you. Dear young people, what do you seek? Why are you here at this conference?
Perhaps your hearts are also restless, searching for meaning and fulfillment and for direction in your lives.
The answer is found in a person. The Lord Jesus alone brings us true peace and joy and fulfills every one of our deepest desires.
The disciples respond by asking him where he was staying. It was not enough for someone else to tell them that Jesus is the Lamb of God. They wanted to get to know him personally by spending time with him.
During this conference, you too will have the opportunity to spend time with the Lord. For some of you, like Andrew, it may be your first real encounter with Christ. For others, this weekend will be an opportunity to deepen your relationship with him as well as your understanding of the Catholic faith.
Be open to what the Lord has in store for you.
