David Neira - Jesus David Neira

Jesus David Neira I'm nineteen year old. My Lord (do we really ever think about the implications this word has?) and Beloved is Jesus the Christ. He is Everything and the Only Thing,the Beginning and Fulfillment. I have spent the last seven years of my life in little Aiken, South Carolina and have just finished my first year of college. I plan to start studying philosophy at the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in New Hampshire in the Fall.

I love the things and people that our world does not, and to these I have dedicated my life. Starting in August 2008 I will travel the country for nine months, living out of a van and staying with kind strangers as a member of N.E.T.[National Evangelization Team]

N.E.T. is a non-profit organization that trains 100 Catholic young adults to host retreats to encourage young people to love Christ and embrace the life of the Church.

I believe in living life as an adventure and pilgrimage.

"We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started...and know the place for the first time."
-T. S. Eliot

"We are prophets of a future not our own."
-Archbishop Oscar Romero, 20th Century martyr

"The journey is the destination."
-Dan Eldon, Reuters photojournalist killed covering conflict in Somalia

"If I am crazy it is because I refuse to be crazy like the rest of the world has gone crazy."
-Peter Maurin, Co-Founder of the Catholic Worker Movement

It's almost midnight. I find myself sitting again in my room, hurriedly trying to finish last minute details. My life packed into a suitcase...again...As I reflect now, I think it quirky how this has become, in essence, normal for me. As I sit here, ready to up and leave for five months, to travel to the West Coast (after a pit stop in Minnesota again,) I'm not deterred by the unconventionality and weight of what I'm doing. First, leaving to venture to Uganda, filled with beauty and horrific suffering and conflict. Then, my initial departure for NET in August, leaving everything [View Full Entry]

It's here. It's finally here... August 21st...the day I've been eagerly waiting for since March. Today, I am flying to St. Paul, Minnesota to continue my journey with N.E.T. Ministries. Today, myself and a hundred others will be gathering in St. Paul. We come from southern California to Maine, and everywhere in between. We are all from different classes, races, and enviroments. We are Catholic in the truest meaning of the word,"universal." Despite all this we are united in our love for Jesus the Christ. Hands down, that's what its all about. That's why I've decided to "give up" [View Full Entry]
