Today we got went to another cathecsis session. and at the risk of repeating myself it was another amazing talk that got you thinking deeper about yourself.
We had a concert to start which got everyone from there slumber and really got the joy in people racing out. The talk and session focused on evangelism both in our own lives and others, being the people that invite others to join us in Christ. Archbishop Timothy Dolan spoke to us and encouraged us to make sure we were people who invited others to share the faith we have; he made sure he emphaised that we only invited people and didn’t force them as it was only through ourselves that we can truly discover Christ. he also spoke of his own personal cathecsis session he was having through the mass amount of pilgrims celebrating the word of Christ with him and the love and joy that was spread among those there.
After a great mass and cathecsis session we had time again to relax or head to some of the events at the venue where the cathecsis was held in the morning, these included a healing session and a concert. Then there was the stations of the cross attended by Pope Benedict. He lead and watched on as each station was reancted through prayer, word and walking. Again another moving event which will last long in the hearts and minds of everyone. Again Benedict was greeted with a carnival atmosphere and mass crowds even more than yeaterday and that is one sight to see it really does hit you to see that many similar people to yourself.
Cannot wait for the vigil tomorrow now!
