Pope sums up WYD Rio in three words

It has become a classic for the Pope to articulate his homilies or speeches around three ideas or, as he puts it, three words. At the audience last Wednesday, September 4, the Pope summed up WYD in Rio in three words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_utqx2CBmI The first is welcome, which creates bonds of friendship, which [...]

Tell me who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are

One of our contributors to Communicating the Faith, Hernando Bello, had the opportunity to be at WYD in Rio. He has decided to share his experience with us and here it is. When I told a very close person (who I'm sure will identify herself when she reads this) that I would be going to the [...]

The vigil and the Mass in Copacabana. Diary of #Río2013 (VIII)

During the Saturday Vigil and Sunday Mass, the Pope asked us to pray. He asked us incisive questions that did not beat around the bush but went to the essential: "Do you pray?" He repeated the main ideas, as if he wanted to tattoo them in our heads and hearts. He gave us a hard time, because he who loves you [...].

Sara Guillén, 21 años, 5º de Medicina. "Aunque me hubiera gustado mucho ir a Río, aquí estoy encantada; estuve en la JMJ de Madrid, y aquello fue una pasada, eran otras dimensiones.

We don't mind the rain or the cold. Diary from #Río2013 (VI)

Primer día que escuchamos al Papa en vivo y en directo. Y va a ser difícil que olvidemos sus palabras, pronunciadas con esa fuerza, cuando nos dice mirándonos a los ojos y como queriéndonos grabar permanentemente en nuestros corazones: "La juventud no puede estar empachada y débil, porque la juventud tiene que ser fuerte". También […]

Fix your eyes on Him. Diary from #Río2013 (V)

Today has been a more or less calm but well spent day. We went to the vocational fair, where there was already a great atmosphere. There and in the subway we met the first groups of Spaniards we have seen here. We were able to have a few moments of quiet prayer in front of the Eucharist in the [...]

Diary #JMJRoncesvalles (I)

WYD is a worldwide convocation and, as is logical, not all the young people who would like to be present in Rio have the possibility to do so. In Roncesvalles, as well as in Santiago de Compostela or in El Rocío, young people from all over Spain have gathered to experience WYD together and to follow the [...]

Opening Mass. Diary from #Río2013 (IV)

If he who sings prays twice, in the opening Mass of WYD today, Tuesday, we prayed ten times. The music not only contributed to making the Mass a very beautiful celebration, but also helped us to pray more and better, to get in tune with Christ. It all began with the song [...]
