This evening most of our group headed back to the Love and Life centre to attend Marianfest, celebrating the gift of our Blessed Mother Mary through music, prayer and worship. Many artists took to the stage during the evening including Alexander Acha and Dana.
The lady who undoubtedly stole the show, however, was Danielle Rose who performed a great acoustic set for the audience. The story of her mission to young people goes back to when she was 17 years old and volunteered for Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity and later promised Pope John Paul II that she would be his "messenger to the young people to take up the rosary once again" and she is certainly doing all she can to achieve this.
Behind the main arena at the Love and Life centre is a chapel for Adoration. This will be open throughout WYD and some of our group spent a little time there this evening during Marianfest in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. We don't get the opportunity for exposition all that often in our own churches here in England so it was a great experience to be able to spend some time in the chapel here this evening.
