mycatholicvoice.com/media/view/GvrgTm Watch this incredible video of the theme song. “Receive the Power” based on the verse from Acts. Receive the Power of the Holy Spirit when you listen carefully to the words this theme imparts. May this World Youth Day supercharge young people and the world to a life imaged as Jesus has taught us! God is good! 👍
 
A month later and no one responded to this thread! Actually, before I registered with Catholic Answers, I was looking for threads about World Youth Day and found nothing! How can that be? World Youth Day is a tremendous evangelization tool for our faith and to our Catholic youth.

Our parish supported a delegation of pilgrims, which included my daughter. What a totally awesome experience it was for her–a powerful spiritual experience. She has been talking non-stop about WYD, messaging all the Catholics she met there, singing the theme song, and looking at photos and youtube videos from Sydney. She is so energized for her Catholic faith. I have been praying prayers of praise and thanksgiving for all who made World Youth Day possible for the Catholic youth who attended.

The next World Youth Day is in August 2011 in Madrid Spain. Make it happen for the youth in your parish!
 
Gotta tell you, the delegation that went from our archdiocese had two events…a warm up, send off mass with our six vicar bishops and cardinal, followed by a barbecue and outdoor concert. It was well attended and the teens that went were supercharged.
Not only that…up until then, a WYD cross was circulated through the six vicariates for the teens to sign and they loved it. This same cross was then taken with them to Sydney!

During WYD, another mass and speakers took place concurrently here in our diocese. It was well attended too. More young people are getting supercharged…but unfortunately their pastors don’t always support youth ministry. There is great hope…and his name is CHRIST! As Pope Benedict taught us and them.
