Another exciting chapter of my pilgrimage leading up to WYD!
This weekend thanks to CYP parramatta we're having a full weekend retreat dedicated to knowing how much we are loved. We drove up here to St Benedict XVI in Grose Vale on friday night and will be leaving today after midday.
What amazing people I have met whilst on this retreat. It just shows how great our God really is! The energy and faith from our youth is so enriching. Already, last night we had our night of adoration, followed by prayer and praise and worship. We had a guest speaker by the name of John Pridmore who shared his testimony with us. John told us that he was a gangsta in his early 20's and now speaks to many young people around the world about how great our God is. He has now devoted his life to Christ. I purchased one of his books after his talk with the title: 'From Gangland to Promised land'. I highly recommend it!
I apologise for the blurry picture attached. My friend was a little star struck😊
We are truly loved because God made is in the exact image and likeness of him. We each are unique and gifted. Let's begin to embrace what we have been given from our Heavenly Father and cherish it everyday of our lives.
Tonight, the 3rd July is the commisioning mass for all WYD Pilgrims in the Parramatta Diocese at St Patrick's Cathedral Parramatta. I look forward to seeing what God has planned for us!
Less than two weeks now!
God bless you all.
#Youareloved
