Hi, I'm Edwards Sari and welcome to All Things Catholic, where real faith meets real life.

Hi, this is All Things Catholic with Edwards Sari. This week, we are in Salt Lake City,

getting ready to welcome over 20,000 college students from all over the country, from overseas.

Many of them are traveling right now. They're on buses. They're on planes. They're driving out. It is amazing to see so many young people gather to worship Jesus and to learn about their faith.

But it's not just the young people. There's also many adults that are coming. thousands of adults and parish leaders, thousands of leaders coming to the Making Missionary Disciples

track at the Seek Conference as well. And it's not just here in Salt Lake City. There's also a

second location where I'm going to be at the end of the week in Washington, D.C., gathering thousands

of others. So it's a big week here. Please pray because it's a great

moment and opportunity of grace for the church for conversion. These young people, especially

these colleges, they're going to get to hear from amazing speakers like Monsignor Shea, Sister Miriam,

Father Mike Schmitz, and many others. And they're going to have a chance to go to Eucharistic

adoration. Just picture a whole

stadium basically filled with 20,000 people falling on their knees to worship Jesus in the Eucharist

and the chance to go to confession. We see thousands and thousands of people going back to confession,

many of whom have not gone since their childhood. So I'm asking you for your prayers.

Please pray for all of us that we grow deeper in our relationship with Christ,

but especially for the many young people,

that they have a deeper encounter with Jesus and the Catholic faith,

and they go back on fire to their campuses,

proclaiming Jesus Christ in the truth of our faith in a very, very secular world.

So I want to just wish you here

a joyful Christmas season and a blessed New Year. And I look forward to being with you next
