Off to Madrid!

I can't believe that the time has arrived.  After years of planning, it will soon be time to board the plane and head off to Spain.  I am not positive but it sounds like this year's World Youth Day may be one of the most attended.  


Please pray for the hundreds of thousands (if not a million or two) pilgrims who will join Pope Benedict as we celebrate our Catholic faith and see the graces of so many cultures.  World Youth Day is a symbol of the universality of the Church - that no matter if someone is from the USA or from the Congo or Iraq that, as Catholics, we all share the same faith.


I will try to keep the blog updated from Spain, but I cannot promise anything.
