My journey thus far

My journey thus far has been extremely exciting and I am anxious for what lies ahead. New experiences and opportunities have been gifted upon me, and I am so grateful to have been given these chances to meet new people and open myself up to my own personal and spiritual journey. More so, I have been humbled and overawed by the excitement and passion that others have towards World Youth Day 2008. I believe that this is the true essence and work of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit has the power to do great things. In my journey thus far a sense of community has become apparent. As many of you may begin your fundraising, group gatherings, parish meetings, or the like – you too may have witnessed the Holy Spirit working amongst you. WYD 2008 is doing more than bringing together the youth; but also families, parishes, and communities – and this is so moving to witness.

The Cross and Icon reach our shores shortly, and to me they are an accumulation of the journey that we are on at present as pilgrims. I encourage you all to make sure you take the time to attend an event, and go witness the Cross and Icon in your town. Become familiar with the schedules of the events in your community, and get ready to share with them and your fellow young people the excitement and passion of World Youth Day.

Get connected, witness the power of the Holy Spirit, and enjoy your journey!

God Bless,
Soifua ona o Iesu Keriso.
