May God bless us in his mercy; may he make his face
shine on us, that we might know his ways on earth
and his saving power among all the nations.

This morning we took part in our last Catechesis session and I think all would agree it was by far the best of the three days. The morning started with Curtis Stephen and band playing loads of well known praise and worship songs which had everyone in the Love and Life centre on their feet singing and dancing along. It was also nice to hear Curtis give a shout out to the English pilgrims on a few occasions during the set, we can make as much noise as the Americans if we want to you see!
After this we enjoyed listening to Archbishop Timothy Dolan who had the 12000 pilgrims in front of him captivated with his testimony on how we can evangelise and be proud of our faith in modern society. He was a truly wonderful speaker and it's no wonder the Americans in attendance were speaking of him in such a proud manner when they'd mentioned his name previously.
Today we also had the opportunity to have lunch with Bishop Seamus Cunningham and Fr Marc Lyden Smith before sharing some of our experiences and thoughts on World Youth Day so far. This was a great opportunity to talk openly and honestly with each other and it was refreshing to hear people voicing their thoughts in this way.
