I really feel that the youth of New Zealand and Australia will receive a lot of Grace from God throughout the World Youth Day experience, as it will assist us all in establishing an even deeper relationship with Christ. I think that the impact of the visible Body of Christ gathering in Sydney will amaze both Christian and non-Christian Oceania. A lot of courage will be necessary from us all to make it happen, while Sydney is close, its still going to take work to get us all over there!
I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to help in the preparation of World Youth Day, because I know that Christ is calling us all to participate in one way or another; whether we travel to Sydney or not; whether we are young or old; whether we are adults or children. I look forward to the the opportunity to worship and learn with Catholic people from so many other places in the world.
Sometimes we need a chance to get serious with things, and I think World Youth Day offers us all a chance to get serious with our faith. Because of its size and the preparation that will be needed, we are all going to have to commit to the Church, to each other and to Christ. The extremity of the message of World Youth Day is also serious; encouraging us all to SERIOUSLY encounter Christ and be his witnesses.
