For those of you that saw/see anything on EWTN or elsewhere, of the Holy Father's arrival in Madrid..... several of us were between the Knights of Columbus flag and the big screen, just behind the fence! It was incredible!! The streets were filled with pilgrims. I would love to see an aerial view! Look online for that maybe.
These kids are true pilgrims! We made a train and weaved our way through the crowds and ended up with a great location and they were all joyful in the process because we were going to see the Holy Father!!
What a beautiful testimony to our faith! the streets filled with so many youth singing wonderful songs to the Lord and calling out to the Holy Father!! It was wonderful to be standing on the middle of that, nothing can compare. It has filled my heart with joy! In the course of being in the middle of crowds we have met so many wonderful pilgrims all filled with joy for the Lord. It is a taste of heaven to be immersed in this!
Continue to share your prayer petitions! We are offering them all!!!
More to come later!!!!
Blessings and peace in Christ!!!

I was just thinking: if there are one billion Catholics in the world, and almost two million at World Youth Day, that means almost one out of every 500 Catholics in the world are in Madrid, Spain, right now!!
ReplyDeleteimagine if you could further narrow that down to the number of Catholics ages 16 to 29 - what percentage of the world's young Catholics are at WYD?!?
