Mass with Our Papa(s)

We had an amazing day yesterday! We gathered early in the morning with hundreds of thousands of youth from all over the world for a pilgrim walk across the Harbour bridge. Wow, what an inspiring and unforgettable experience! We were able to really see the universality of our church. God is so good!

Last night our Holy Father blessed us at a candle light vigil at the racetrack. One of the teens said that he knew why we couldn't see the stars in the sky (besides the fact that it was cloudy...lol) it was because everyone was shining so brightly! Everywhere you looked you could see thousands of candle flames flickering in the gentle Sydney breeze. Msgr. Brennan celebrated a beautiful Mass for us in the field. It was cold but we huddled together to sing praise and share in the Table of our Lord. What a sight!

Thank you to everyone at home who worked so hard to get us here. God bless you! Know that we are praying for you and we love you. We're about to participate in the closing Mass with our Papa. We'll be home soon with lots of stories and pictures. Hope you're watching from home and that you are as blessed as we are.

See you soon!
