We
had an amazing catechesis this morning with English speaking pilgrims from the Philippines,
Ghana, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the USA and more. Pilgrims are loosening up and starting to
feel the power of being many but also united as one under God. The Ghana pilgrims performed on stage to get
the morning started, and the crowded exploded in cheers and dancing. Cardinal Seán O'Malley from Boston spoke to
us about how individualism is plaguing our world and the only cure is Love. Merciful Love that gives wastefully to those
in need and to those we find most troublesome.
Our civilization cannot persist without Love.
Our
WiFi access has been intermittent… many stories (photos, videos) will have to be shared when we
return. Tomorrow, we start the last leg
of our journey to the site of the Saturday Vigil and Sunday Closing Mass with
at least 2 million people and Pope Francis. Since we are
in Wadowice, we have to leave at 4AM! We will sleep outdoors at the Campus of Mercy.
Hopefully you can catch some of the Vigil and Mass on TV or online. We will have no WiFi… So that is all we can report until Sunday at the earliest.
We
bring your prayers with us.

Love from the Vermont Pilgrims
