Rise up and walk

When Jesus finds the unnamed daughter of Jairus deceased, He takes her by the hand and says, "Talitha kum" (Marcus 5:41). Marcus immediately explains that this means "Li�le girl, I say to you, arise."

It is in this simple but meaningful episode, that inspira�on was found for the Talitha kum ac�vity being held every year in the small uninhabited yet not abandoned village of Drave, in Portugal. When taking Jesus's call as a passionate appeal to rise up and walk on the face of the Earth enjoying the miracle of life granted by God, it is, in fact, difficult to remain indifferent to world surrounding us.

In 2015, it will be based on one of those human giants touched by His message of rising and walking in this world fully embracing Him: Mother Theresa of Calcu�a.

Talitha kum - rise up and walk Talitha kum is an event for Rover Scouts that in its 2015 edi�on will be open for ICCS Rovers.

Goals provide moments of prayer and faith celebra�on; allow the miracle of gathering with God, in the

contempla�on of His Crea�on and in the dialogue with one self and with the one next to him;
