Before I started WYD activities, I didn't know what to expect. I have learned that my plan isn't always God's plan. When you make decisions and plans expect them to change rapidly. Being open and allowing yorself to be on God's time brings many more graces than you could imagine. I've also learned the art of waiting. It's that old saying, rush to wait. Most of the large events involve hours of waiting before the event starts, but if you want a good view, there you stand or sit for 3-4 hours. These are oppurtunities for the good Lord to bring people into your life. Much conversation goes on during this time with people you wouldn't generally meet. God has blessed me with many new friends.
The pope arrived today. We had a superb spot right along the street to see him. Unfortunately, the motorcade went speeding by and we only got a glimpse of him.
Dinner with coajutor Bishop Soto was a treat! He is truly a big spender!
Please continue to keep us pilgrims in prayer. God Bless you all. Praise be Jesus Christ, now and foreve!

You are so awesome!! I can't imagine how moving it must have been to actually be there! I was touched just seeing it on the tiny screen from the WYD site. I was especially affected by the opening prayer and the partipation during it by the people from the other countries (Lord hear us!) By the way, not only have they been covering the Pope's visit on the local Channel 3 news but the news at noon did a segment on your Rockin'Friar today. Love and prayers to you and the "pilgrims".
