Text Messages from World Youth Day

The Pope is in Australia celebrating with Catholic youth from all over the world. I love the logo, which combines the flame of the Holy Spirit with the skyline of the Sydney Opera House. I also love the daily text messages which pilgrims are receiving from Pope Benedict: "The spirit impels us 4ward 2wards others; the fire of his love makes us missionaries of God's charity. See u tomorrow nite - BXVI," it read. We will watch some of the online footage today and talk about the courage to be missionaries in our own family, our church, our community, and the world.
