Retreat

I'm organising a retreat for some of my students in January. The aim of the retreat is to get them to think about the question 'Are you going to leave God at school?' I'm thinking of basing my talk on the following excerpt from the homily preached at his inauguration (especially the italicised bits):

'At this point, my mind goes back to October 22 1978, when Pope John Paul II began his ministry here in St. Peter's Square. His words on that occasion constantly echo in my ears: 'Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors for Christ!'... The Pope was... speaking to everyone, especially the young. Are we not perhaps all afraid in some way? If we let Christ enter fully into our lives, if we open ourselves totally to Him, are we not afraid that He might take something away from us? Are we not perhaps afraid to give up something significant, something unique, something that makes life so beautiful? Do we not then risk ending up diminished and deprived of our freedom? And once again the Pope said: No! If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed. Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation. And so, today, with great strength and great conviction, on the basis of long personal experience of life, I say to you, dear young people: Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and He gives you everything. When we give ourselves to Him, we receive a hundred-fold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ - and you will find true life. Amen.'

It seems to me that one of the reasons young people stop practising their faith when they leave school is because they want to have the 'university experience' in all its glory! I'm hoping to convince them that the 'university experience' is not diminished but enhanced by its including Christ. If you have any ideas along this line that might help in planning the retreat, please help!
