For the Youth of the World

Madrid is calling ... any takers?

Am I the only one, or does this little montage have your heart bursting with joy for our Church?

Grassroots Films has really captured the essence of World Youth Day. Young people, given the chance, will be on fire for our beautiful faith. The “future of our Church” … begins in the present of our Church.

Anyone heading to Spain with a group this summer?  I know it’s an exhausting pilgrimage, but after watching this short film, I think it might be wise to hide my credit cards and checkbook … or by day’s end I may find myself the proud owner of plane tickets to Madrid!

Seeing and hearing JPII again made me tear up. I am so grateful to have been at WYD Toronto to hear him and see him.

 

I also got to attend WYD in Toronto. Such wonderful memories! I feel so blessed to have been in the presence of JPII, as well. What a great video smile

 

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! I wish I had the privelage to go to the World Youth Day, or that it would be here in the United States one day. What a beautiful way to give our love to our Catholic faith! smile thank you again!

 

How old is too old for WYD? I’m youthful at heart!  Maybe I just need to befriend some teenagers and go as their chaperone… smile

 

That gave me goose bumps! I am hoping and praying to send my 17 yr old.  I would too if I didn’t have a baby.

 

I was in Toronto too, with a six-month-old baby. My DH was one of the Canadian youth representatives and carried the cross up at the opening mass. It was truly, truly wonderful.
