As I said, Australia is beautiful and beyond friendly...
The WYD events are great and organized....
And God is blessing me left and right!!
I knew WYD would be good as that is one place that I can say when I was in high school that God really touched my heart! Who knew traveling on the bus for 30 hours when I was 15 years old to Denver, CO to see some guy dressed in white, would change my life so profoundly...it was so much more than seeing the Pope...God placed a fire in my heart that has only burned more ever since!!
Now to be organizing a group of young people here has been a gift of blessings!!!
Fr. Gurnick--you took 15..try 150!!!!!!! (haha!!) It is awesome to be praying for their hearts and for God to touch them as He touched me 15 years ago!
Really--God has been giving me graces in the details...i have felt connected with the saints, connected to our daughter, connected to thousands of Catholics coming from all directions....and of course connected to God!
Today I was brought to tears during Mass, during the consecration, Bishop Grech of Melbourne (who ROCKS) just reminded us so simply, to put our hope and trust in Jesus present in the Eucharist. As he elevated the Eucharist, tears just rolled down my face...He is sooo good, so faithful and He loves me intimately and personally!!!
In my life, I constantly pray to be more faithful, to be able to live a life for Christ and to be a witness to His love..today my prayer is for my heart to be more convicted and changed, in order to be transformed and brought closer to Him. I want my life to be a constant reflection of the love that He pours out on me and EVERYONE at all times!!!!!
Stay tuned for more....time at the internet cafe is coming to an end and our stomachs are empty!!!
