Lord, may the Helper, the Spirit who comes from you, fill our hearts
with light and lead us all to truth as your Son promised, for he lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Today was the start of our Catechesis sessions and for 12000 English speaking pilgrims this meant heading to the Love & Life Centre in Goya. The session started with a group of Franciscan Friars leading praise and worship with the pilgrims gathered in the Love & Life Centre and if anyone was tired before this session began then we had no chance to be sleepy once everyone was up on their feet singing and dancing!
Once the arena was full all of the pilgrims settled down to listen to testimonies given by some of the Sisters of Life who, along with the Knights of Columbus, are organising the Catechesis sessions at the Love and Life centre this week. One of the aims of these Sisters is to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life and the provided very powerful testimonies of their work to the pilgrims this morning before we all celebrated mass together.
Sharing in the Catechesis this morning with the other English speaking pilgrims also gave us the opportunity to catch up with some of our friends from around the UK who are attending WYD with different groups although it was pretty hard to miss some of them as the picture above shows!
