CONTD. ON PAGE 3 HEART TALK “Christian leadership begins from going down on one’s knees.” This is the great conviction that drives every Jesus Youth missionary. It is from prayer on bended knees with hands lifted up that every JY receives strength for a life of service. Prayer is the hallmark of Jesus Youth who are most often described as ‘people of prayer’. Indeed formation and activities that arise out of prayer are key traits of Jesus Youth. Prayer is the first fundamental requisite and constant that every JY is required to necessarily practise and adopt as a way of life. Of the many forms of prayer, personal prayer holds great importance for it sustains JY in the most trying circumstances and especially in places where it is not possible to receive the Sacraments regularly.
