Seton Hall Fan Into Flame Provides a "Powerful Encounter"

Fan into Flame 2020 proved to be a powerful encounter with the Lord for many of our students, especially through the Blessed Sacrament. The retreat introduced students to 5 talks coupled with testimonies ranging from introduction to charismatic praise and worship, declaring Jesus as Lord of their lives, and concluding with how to practically live out the Catholic way of life as students. The climax of FIF came on Saturday night where we had the opportunity to break up into our small groups and pray over each other for the Holy Spirit to baptize us. For the majority of students, THAT’S when the Holy Spirit touched their heart and radically called them to begin or strengthen their relationship with God. The goodness of FIF 2020 started with the clear devotion to prayer from our students. The retreat leaders went ALL IN with serving this retreat, faithfully praying, petitioning and fasting for weeks before the weekend! The fruit was evident! Through the Eucharist, several students felt the presence of God and felt the desire to join the Catholic Church! Praise God for his mighty works!
