"And I'm leavin' OOOooon a Jet Plane!"

So here we are t-minus 8 hours till we depart for World Youth Day! I am less than a day away from probably the most amazing trip of my life. I am a little over a week away from being with the Holy Father. I will be spending the next 11 days with my surrogate family, the Lifeteens.

I pray to the Lord that he will bless us with his grace and protection as we travel to Germany and back again. May the Holy Spirit descend on each of us, not just in our group, but all the teens traveling to WYD and create a new pentecost in our Church.

We are the future of our faith, may WYD 2005 be the start of a brighter future for our Church. Amen.
