Got Back From WYD Yesterday

[Chi Rho]

What an amazing experience !!! A true blessing from God to have been asked by my parish to go. I'm suffering from major sleep deprivation, but I really don't care. The Spirit is keeping me going.

I hope many of you were able to go and were able to see footage if you didn't. Rest assured that those who did will bring Christ back with them to you.

Arraigados y edificados en Cristo, firmes en la fe.

It looked like a great event on TV...

I am so glad you had this opportunity to be a part of the universal Church in action.

I am so glad you had a great time.

That's great! I surely enjoyed watching it on TV. In a way it changed me too.

God bless you and all you beautiful young people. You truly give hope to a broken world.

 

[D'Ann]

What was it like spending the night at the airport?

Glad you had a good time & got home safely. I wish EWTN had shown more.

I just got back from WYD too! I'd say my favorite "part" was seeing a group of Israelis and one of Labanese exchange a kiss of peace when they were passing each other on the street. My second favorite part was probably the Seminarian Mass, when I was standing about ten feet away from Pope Benedict

 

[MoNiCa4316]

I watched in on EWTN I loved the prayer vigil part and the Eucharistic Adoration.. what was that like? and what was it like seeing Pope Benedict?

Sounds like a good time. You guys are the future, walk in Christ.

Well, I didn't sleep at all because I felt like staying up (plus the ground wasn't that comfortable to lie on and was dusty too), but the atmosphere was fantastic. People were singing, dancing and banging drums and chanting till at least 4 or 5 in the morning. Even during the storm. Then afterwards it was funny listening to everyone snoring all around me. LOL. Eventually it got to about 7 and the sun came up, which was one of those very beautiful dusty mediterranian sunrises. Adoration was a great experience. It was strange to hear 2 million people all fall deathly silent.

My group got turned away, so we didn't make the final Mass. That was disappointing, but we watched it on tv and had free reign of the town while everybody else was in Cuatros Vientros. The Praudo Museum was really something.
