I am off to Madrid. Myself and three other priest along with 27 pilgrims are joining 450,000 who will meet in Madrid for the 25th world youth day.
We seek to encounter Christ in the living vessels of faith who come from all over the world. We go to be planted in faith firm in Christ.
Please pray for all who travel that this will truly be a grace filled event and christ will be experienced and God will be glorified.
We leave tomorrow morning from houston at 10 am and head to Miami from their to Madrid then off to Valencia where we will be for 4 days and then we shall converge like fire on Madrid for 7 days of faith filled festivities.
Here is a bit from Pope BEnedict:
"Today, I renew this call to the new generation, to give testimony with the meek and luminous strength of the truth, so that the men and the women of the third millennium don't lack the most authentic model: Jesus Christ."
To know Christ and make him known is the essence of pilgrimage.
May we all carry the torch and shine forth.
