The power of Via de Cristo is prayer, and one of the
best places to be during a Via de Cristo weekend is in the prayer chapel.
All of the speakers go there before their talks to join friends, family
and the prayer palanca team in asking God's blessing on their talks, and
again afterwards to thank Him for what they have been able to do. During
the talks, the people in the chapel continue to pray for the speaker, the
candidates, read scripture passages and sing songs of praise and worship
selected by the speaker.
If you are at the site to help in the kitchen or dining room, going
to the chapel for one of the speakers can be a nice break from the work.
It is really the place to be if you have nothing to do during one of the
talks. It is against the Sonshine Via de Cristo policy for anyone other
than candidates and team members to be in an area where they can listen to
the speakers talk. You should not be seen by the candidates at anytime
other than serving meals.
