The commissioning Mass at the Cathedral was a wonderful celebration and you could feel the excitement of the pilgrims. The Bishop's homily was, as usual, challenging us to live our faith. That's what WYD is all about really. The Bishop also spoke about the places his pilgrimage group would be visiting in the Holy Land, among the many highlights Mass on the sea of Galilee. The Holy Land has never been on my list of places to visit because of all the unrest, but how exciting it would be to see all those places we hear about in Mass every weekend.
We had our last meeting on Wednesday night and two of the Parramatta groups flew out the next day. I spoke with the two students who are members of Bishop Anthony's pilgrimage and are representing Gilroy. They were excited about what was ahead and also a little apprehensive. The remaining two groups, including mine, fly out next Wednesday, I guess my next entry will be from the airport or from Madrid.
