Description: Your home for the 2009 Steubenville conferences! The theme, Above All, is from 1 Chronicles 29:11 "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.” We live in the age of super-sizing.  Everyone speaks of living large, getting the most out of the moment, and seizing the day.  But in teen culture, this philosophy has led to a frenetic, fragmented approach to life where the driving force of existence is stringing together one experience after another in hopes of finding happiness.  Teens are constantly driven to look for the next big thing, the higher “high” or the greater thrill.  But often, there is no real consideration or contemplation for the purpose or meaning of their lives.  Life becomes empty and is reduced to nothing.  In turn, God is reduced to nothing with teens not really knowing who God is or what to believe. But God is bigger.  God is the ultimate.  God is truly above all and He reigns as King of the Universe.  His heart burns with a passionate, unconditional love for each of us.  It is this love that changes hearts, sets people free, and draws us into deeper communion with the one who made us. In 2009, we will be calling young people to tear down the facade the world has thrown up in front of them.  We will draw them into the presence of the God of the Universe where they will see that God truly is ABOVE ALL, better than anything else and living in their hearts through faith and Baptism.  We want to show them that God is not an experience but a journey.  He is their beginning, He is their end.  And He is in all, through all and with all of them as they journey through this life.  And we want to call young people to make Christ King of their hearts – where He can reign ABOVE ALL!

Description: Quadragesima (kwä′drə jā′zi mə) denotes a season of preparation by fasting and prayer, to imitate the example of Christ.  The forty days in Lent are traditionally marked by fasting, both from foods and festivities, and by other acts of penance. The three traditional practices to be taken up with renewed vigor during Lent are prayer (justice towards God), fasting (justice towards self), and alms-giving (justice towards neighbor).  To help you in the journey we have collected the best in contemporary and traditional music, prayerful reflection, videos and bible study resources.  Music downloads displayed are full albums only, but most of the music is also available as single-track downloads as well.  Just click on the titles in the song list to preview the individual song.
