WYD Sydney 2008 - WOW!
July 21, 2008 |
1,000 . . . 200,000 . . . 400,000!
That’s 1,000 priests hearing confession at World Youth Day!
That’s 200,000 youth joining the Holy Father in silent, holy (and around the clock) Adoration of the Eucharist!
That’s 400,000 young pilgrims participating in Mass with the Holy Father (the largest crowd in Austrailian history)!
It’s a great day to be Catholic!
Now, how about those parishes who give only an hour a week for reconciliation (and on Saturday afternoon at that)? How about those who give one, two or three hours a week (or a month) for Adoration? How about those of our fellow Catholics who can’t get out of bed on Sunday morning on a consistent basis?
The Holy Spirit was everywhere to be found in Sydney this past week. May this fervor spread to the rest of the faithful.
The children have shown us the way to Christ. This is the moment to follow with a renewed spring in our step.
It’s time to get our butts to Confession, Adoration and Mass. It’s time to put in the time and effort to show Christ we are with him.
