- 64. "If the present situation can be attributed to difficulties of various kinds, it is not out of place to speak of ‘structures of sin,’ which... are rooted in personal sin and thus always linked to the concrete acts of individuals who introduce these structures, consolidate them, and make them difficult to remove. And thus they grow stronger, spread, and become the source of other sins, and so influence people's behavior." (Pope John Paul II, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, 36)
- 67. Experience Social Analysis Theological Reflection Response
- 69. “ Charity calls forth a generous response from individuals; justice requires concerted communal action to transform institutional policies, societal laws, or unjust social situations...

- Good morning everyone. It is good to be with you. As Scott said earlier, my name is Marissa Alspaugh. For those of you who know me you are aware that I can rarely get through any gathering without bragging about my beautiful family. I am the mother of 2 beautiful children, Michael and Celia. They are a great gift to me from God, and I suppose my husband, Brian had something to do with it as well . . . Most namely my daughter’s blue eyes. I have a small group of girlfriends that I have collected over the years, Christina from elementary school, Ruthann in college, Rachel in graduate school, Jenni as a new mom, and several in my youth ministry world. Each week my family and I are sure to score a free meal or two at our parents’ homes.
- Now that I’ve introduced myself to all of you. I’d like you to do the same.
- Please gather your things and move to sit at the table with the same object as what’s on your nametag. Icebreaker Now back to the item on your table. Each group has a common household item along with a couple ordinary tools to help you with this project (scissors, markers, tape). Using the tools you have before you I’d like you to transform that item into something completely different that serves a different purpose. Items: Egg carton Broom Cardboard box towel/sheet Milk Jug paper towel roll Coffee can Pillow case - By a show of hands how many of you were stumped/challenged at first? - How many of you thought this was fun/challenging? Children are masters at this. Taking an everyday item and transforming it into something else. I have the pleasure of watching my two children do this daily. Just a couple weeks ago my son and I transformed a Nike shoe box into a Captain America shield. I didn’t see a super hero shield when I looked at this box but my son did. It seems that as we get older we train our minds to compute the proper usage for each item. Everything has its place. Certain things are done a certain way. I bring this up because what we’re striving to do today is take something very common place to all of us – service and look at it in a different light. So I hope that you will carry these two themes with you throughout the rest of the day: Relational & Transformational service.

- Explore context and content: Do not skip this step – help them make the connections to their world and that beyond them. Based on your experience, what does it feel like to be homeless? Where are the homeless in your community? Who might feel like an outcast in your community? Begin to make connections to broader issues, other stories, realities of life around those issues – for instance, poverty that leads to immigration, lack of affordable health care that leaves one on the streets, a system that does not support disabled or those with addictions Social Analysis Critical thinking skills set in –and invite them to make connection Ask the questions why and how to help young people understand the root causes Challenge YP to analyze their assumptions, perceptions, and perspectives – to remove the blinders from their own eyes that creates barriers rather then relationships Identifying power relationships and its uses, and its abuses Many reflection tools and resources can be consulted to assist with the “how” of analysis. Three key areas to examine include: a) naming the assumptions that are operating, b) analyzing the various perspectives involved in the situation, and c) identifying the various sources of power behind a situation. Carrie at St. Michaels … Bring God into the picture We’ve examined the experience on a personal level, through emotion … through reason and social analysis … connecting heart to head Unless we talk about this in the context of faith, how does the conversion happen – As people of faith, we must examine it through the lens of faith … To see solutions where there appears to be none, requires faith. To commit to seeking those solutions requires hope To build relationships in doing so requires the capacity to love The stories of faith – as we bring them into the picture – become our stories and they shed light on the very situations that exist today When we practice the presence of God within our ministries, young people are changed. Pray, Joy, Hope, Unconditional Love – How did they experience Christ in this experience? How – scripture, church doctrine, teachings, witnesses of faith, prayer Think Global! Act Local! 7/20/2009

- It is good to be with you again. Hopefully at this point in the day you are not only feeling physically nourished and satisfied, but are also feeling empowered to bring some new elements into the service you are involved in with your parishes and places of work. Earlier today I spoke about my son Michael. Not only does he love to transform things he is currently obsessed with Transformers. When he introduces himself he says, “Hi I’m Michael. I like Transformers.” Since transformation has been so much a part of our discussion today I thought I’d go back to my 80’s roots and look up some info about Transformers. I discovered that the theme song of the original transformers was, “Transformers more than meets the eye.” At this point in our pastoral circle we hope that both our teens and youth ministers have come to know and experience that service is more than meets the eye. It is more than – a bagged lunch for the homeless, pennies collected for a well in Africa, a freshly painted fence. If we have allowed for those transformational moments – if we have left room for Christ to be present then we are going to be sending teens home to our parishes, families, and communities different – transformed.
- But . . . do our parents know more than – “Our teens built a house with Habitat.” Does our parish know more than, “We send 6 teens to the soup kitchen every other month.” Do our teenagers know how to tell them that service is “more than meets the eye?” How do we help our teens take the response that Wayne discussed before lunch and bring it back to the “real world.” At this point our teens will feel a dissonance – a tension between the Gospel ideal they just experienced and the real world.
- Often this is where we sometimes drop the ball. I know that on the way home from a service encounter I’m already making the laundry list of things that need to get done both at home and at work while I have on fire teens sitting in the back seats of my car eager to know the next step– If we stop at this point in our pastoral circle we have transformed – on fire teens with nowhere to go . . . It’s like taking ballroom dancing lessons and then never going out to dance. It doesn’t make sense. Our teens are like these flames on the left. We all know about fire – it needs to be tended, fed. If we let it go it will exstinguish. We all also know that our teens can be like this young lady on the right – they are able to pass on the fire within them to others if they are given the opportunity. Maria This analogy makes me think of one young lady who started in our ministry in her 8 th grade year in the hopes of being able to be confirmed in her 9 th grade year. She was the only teen from the Thurmont area. She didn’t know anyone. All throughout her 8 th grade year she pretty much mangaged to stay invisible. It wasn’t until her parents encouraged her to attend our summer work camp before her 9 th grade year that she became a part of our ministry. Her parents volunteered to come and serve dinner to the work campers one night. They were so impressed by the joy and stories the teens shared and by the transformation that they saw in their daughter that they decided to come to Maria’s worksite the next day and help her paint the walls of a Crisis Pregnancy Center. Since this time Maria has become active in every ministry I can give her. Her mother has returned to Church. She gave a beautifully powerful witness at one of our Edge Nights that included parents about how her daughter, Maria’s witness brought her back to Church. We all know the power and impact our teens can have on the rest of the world if they are given the tools and opporutnity to do so.
- So what’s next . . . I draw a lot of inspiration from this quote from Katherine Feely who works on Social Justice education. “ The role of education is much more profound than merely the process of imparting facts, broadening knowledge, or developing skills needed for functioning in the world. At the heart of education, what we really do is awaken in [others] an awareness of God’s presence within them and around them so that through the exercise of their God-given gifts and talents, they may become the persons they are intended to be for the benefit of the wider world. There is no higher calling.” Katherine Feely SND “Engaging Faith in the World: Exploring Catholic Social Teaching and Global Solidarity” This quote gets me jazzed because I think it encapsulates the work I want to be a part of. For me there is no higher calling than helping a young person discover Christ, discover their God-given talents and then learn how to exercise all of that in the world to bring about the Kingdom of God.
- So how do we help our young people become “the persons they are intended to be for the benefit of the wider world.” We need teen servant disciples . . . who are equipped to share and live their experience in the world. So let’s help them do just that.
- First things first . . . Do our young people have the language to share with their family and friends about their service experience? If they can’t talk about it they’ll struggle to share it. Hopefully we have given them opportunities to practice sharing their experience with each other and that they have also picked up language through the social analysis and theological reflection portions of the pastoral circle so they can accurately express the experience. Once they can talk about it they can take it anywhere. Let’s give them opportunities to share at home and at Church.. . . We’ll come back to what some of the opportunities might look like in a moment. Remember if they feel ready to share their experience they can take it places we can’t go . . . The locker room, FB, and school.
- Our teens need to put faith into action at the service of others. Let’s make sure they know that service can happen everyday, anywhere by offering them the following: Putting our teens in touch with agencies where they can continue to serve on their own and develop relationships and skills. Identify people in our parish and community who can mentor young people who are ready to make service a part of their life. Teachers, social workers, nurses, doctors, missionaries . . . Connect serving others with their vocational or career path.
