Today we held our student leadership day and what an incredible day it was. We played chubby bunnies, we heard about how to fully live out the lifestyle of prayer we are called to. We learnt about mission & evangelism, we planned alpha and most importantly we had times of prayer & worship & shared what each of us our passionate about and where we feel God is calling us too. It was beautiful. Each and every student here is such a witness to the joy of the gospel! Praise the Lord! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
We had the best day yesterday at Sheffield University Activities fair. So many beautiful encounters with lots of different students, We had atheists signing up to #tryalpha , We had students sign up to come to Mass for the first time this Sunday and we handed out hundreds of leaflets and sweets. If we met you at the fair yesterday we can’t wait to welcome you! 🎉🌟🔥🔥

We’ve been a bit quiet these last few days, but it’s because we’re recovering and resting from the incredible @youth2000uk festival. There are so many beautiful stories of students coming to know God and over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing them, but today I want to share @eye.see.wright beautiful words about the festival. #ShareInTheJoy #SheffieldStudentsOnTour Youth 2000 part 2: It’s now lunchtime on Sunday and after an incredibly busy and freeing day yesterday I want to share some of my joy and what God revealed to me yesterday. The first thing I want to share is that you don’t have to earn your worth. God has made each one of us unique and beautiful. Too often we find ourselves comparing ourselves to those around us. Comparison is the thief of joy. We don’t need to follow the norm and be the same as everyone else because even when we stand far from the crowd, God loves us and guides us. The second thing I want to share is linked to this, in Ephesians 1:5, it says “because of his love God has already decided that through Jesus Christ he would make us his sons and daughters - this was his pleasure and purpose.” I reflected on this a lot yesterday and after praying with a couple of others this is what God said to me: I don’t need to be perfect. I don’t need to compare myself to others. I don’t need academic success. I don’t need to worry about failure. GOD LOVES ME! I am blessed. I am his child. I am who he says I am. I am chosen by him to be a light to others. I am worthy. I am beautiful. I am His. I am free. This is true for you too. If you put your trust in God he will work miracles in your life. God is Good 🙏 @ Basilica of Our Lady of Walsingham
