Alive, Alive, Alive Forever More!
"One mission is better than a thousand options..."
PRE-WYD: I think I've shared this in my previous entries but I was really anxious and nervous about going on this trip. There were times I was really excited, but then were also times where I was scared and nervous. At one point, I even doubted whether to even go on this trip at all. I felt unprepared for this trip not physically or financially, but juss spiritually. I wasn't completely all there, it was hard to keep an open mind not knowing exactly w
hat to expect. If you know me, then you know Im the type of person that I want to know whas going on. I want to be kept in the loop of things. So here I was on the plane for a 12 hour flight (which got delayed twice while were at the airport oh why?!) not fully sure of anything.
WYD: Amazing. Of course there was ups and downs, definitely like that show the real world where you have drama w/people and there's juss drama...not to sound like a pessimistic patty there were more good times then there was bad. I really would
like to create an imovie slideshow but I dont know how ha and there's so much footage. So whas WYD like? Like I said amazing. I was telling mike the other day
that WYD proved to the world that the Church was still young and alive.
The Church is vibrant and it still and will continue move to re-shape the hearts of people. To see close to 500,000 people show up for something like this puts you in awe. HOnestly no words can really describe it all. Then seeing
the Pope live and in person oh man gives you goosebumps. Watching him pass makes a tear from your eye. People all around you praising God it a sense it was like the Upper Room when there people from all over speaking in their native tongue. The Pope said, "I pray that this great assembly, which unites young people 'from every nation under heaven' (cf. Acts 2:5), will be a new Upper Room. May the fire of God's love descend to fill your hearts, unite you ever more fully to the Lord and his Church, and send you forth, a new generation of apostles, to bring the world to Christ!" Amen. May this celebration continue to bring a new pentecost to the heart of the world.
