...and the young people from all over the world who took part in World Youth Day in Sydney, done the Church and the Pope proud? A wonderful event, which we've been following via out computer as we have so many friends involved. There's an excellent account of it here
and here.
Things to note: the joyful, exuberant, courteous, friendly behaviour of all the pilgrims, the Holy Father's strong message of hope and optimism coupled with that of self-discipline and acceptance of great responsibilities, the way in which noisy and at time vicious opposition to the event melted away in the face of its reality, and the sense of continuity within the Church combined with a vision of the future opening up, as the "Great South Land of the Holy Spirit" welcomed youth to one of the first great events of the 21st century...

I have been following World Youth Day on EWTN which did some very good coverage. There are some clips on You Tube; no doubt more will be added as the pilgrims return home.
