JusticeWalking for Youth
|
JusticeWalking (J-Walking) is a
3-to 6-month “prophet-raising” process that forms small communities of
adults and older teens who experiment with living the Gospel message
and the implications of Catholic social teaching. Key to this process
are the relationships created within each J-Walking community and
those they encounter at the margins of our society.
Through prayer, retreats,
reading, dialogue, and encounters, J-Walkers broaden their circle of
awareness and expose their lives to the compassionate spirit of Gospel
justice. |

| J-Walking includes twelve biweekly
sessions, contemplative dialogue on the signs of our times, daylong
opening and closing retreats, a weekend justice-immersion pilgrimage,
monthly meetings located at a community service agency, maintaining a
prayer journal, reading and reflecting on two books together, public
presentations, and practicing six lifestyle adjustments that apply
Gospel teachings to life choices.
