I was sent this YouTube video which is a take off of the Mastercard commercial with a World Youth Day twist, it's actually very well done, do have a look.
It's getting closer now, World Youth Day is next year, starting on Tuesday 15th July and culminating with Mass with Pope Benedict in Sydney on Sunday 20th July. Mark it in your diaries! Catholic, protestant, athiest, just curious, everyone is welcome...this will be the event to be at!
It will be a marvellous opportunity to encounter fellow believers, the Pope and Christ Himself. As the Vicar of Christ, the Holy Father is coming to the young (and the not so young) to set them on fire with the love of Christ. So next year get ready to burn! Spread the word and keep the excitement building and don't forget to pray for the success of WYD. This is not just a week long event, it is to shape the direction of the Church for the next 20 years and beyond.
(PS I love the song that backs that little video above, 'Jesus Christ you are my life' was used at previous World Youth Days and you can here the whole thing right here.)
