Youth and Young Adult Ministry of conversion and Deliverance

This apostolic activity is done by the missionaries’ programs for diocesan and parochial youth and young adult ministry that seek the expiation, conversion and deliverance of young people, drawing them to a renewed commitment of life and apostolate. These programs include: individual ministry of deliverance, theological formation on demonology, retreats of conversion, street counseling on abortion mills, door-to-door evangelization, Eucharistic congresses, and foreign pilgrimages and missions.

Besides these activities, Domus Rosa Mystica has developed three specific weekend retreats for young adults (ages 16-30) that correlate in a modern, engaging way the three traditional ways of the spiritual life (purgative, illuminative, and unitive) to the three main pillars of our charism (conversion, deliverance, and expiation). 

Behold a brief description of the retreats:

  • Conversion Retreat — This is the first of the retreats that seeks the change of life of the young adult from the ways of the world, sin, despair, and hopelessness to a new life in Christ and to a fuller participation in the Church.  This retreat relates to the purgative way of the spirit and focuses on the eternal love of the Father for his children and Jesus' salvific action in the current reality of the young adult through the Holy Spirit's force and assistance (this is more a kerygmatic evangelization).

  • Deliverance Retreat — This is the second retreat that seeks further growth in the spiritual life of the young adult after the initial conversion and fuller participation in the life of the Church.  It focuses on the healing and deliverance from repeated patterns of sin and weaknesses, past wounds that shape some of the young adults' behavior and internal darkness in the soul/mind.  It correlates to the illuminative way of the spirit for it is Christ the Light of the World who illumines, heals, and breaks dark bonds.  The Christian virtues and fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit are presented as further tools for personal deliverance.

  • Expiation Retreat — This is the third retreat that motivates the young adults to love Jesus so much as to want to offer their lives to Jesus in atonement for the sins of hardened heart sinners.  This retreat takes St. Paul's example of suffering what is "lacking" of the passion of Christ upon one's own life and St. Faustna's life and message of divine mercy as joyful models for the unitive way of the spirit.  Here the young adult makes a personal commitment of unconditional love and expiation to Jesus Christ as well as to strive for a life of heroic virtue.
