STORIES FROM THE FIELD
Carrying Mats
Who would carry your mat?
At Bishop Manogue Catholic High School, students considered what it means to be the kind of friend who brings someone closer to Jesus. Their Huddle centered on Mark 2, where four men carried a paralyzed friend to Jesus and, unable to get through the crowd, opened the roof to lower him before Christ.
That account challenged students to look beyond familiar friendships. Would they stand beside someone in need? Would they invite someone to FCA who feels overlooked? Real friendship sometimes requires courage and sacrifice, especially when reaching beyond established social circles.
Whose mat would you be willing to carry? Our prayer is that Bishop Manogue students will grow in their understanding of Christ and demonstrate His love by helping others encounter Him.
