She couldn't make Madrid, but she and her best friend are already planning to "cap off their childhoods" by saving for the Rio WYD in a couple of years! <br /><br />I hope you come back here and tell us about how she loved it!

As I watched on tv my heart was so full and the tears kept pouring. What a tremendous outpouring of love and joy.. I cant imagine what it must have been like to be there in person. It was so wonderful to see all those young people in the pouring rain and gusty wind shouting out their love for God and the Pope. I know this experience will have changed my daughter and all who attended forever!Lisa Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357560782423451224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-82247769923348567592011-08-21T21:52:06.493-07:002011-08-21T21:52:06.493-07:00Becky, that is so beautiful!

To me, he was just a nice old man in a white robe but I couldn't understand why people loved him so much. <br /><br />When I stood there in the crowd as we waved to Pope John Paul, I suddenly saw in his eyes so much love! I will never forget that moment! I felt like he was looking at me, even though I knew I was only a dot in the crowd. But I learned that it was the people he loved so much, and so this love in his eyes was meant for everyone. <br /><br />Since then, I love these two Popes so much! I have not yet seen Pope Benedict but I have seen this same love reflected in his eyes as PJP2. <br /><br />I don't know if people really understand what it takes for these old men to go out on these crusades for the youth--they are old men! Yet they do it out of love for all of us, and especially for the youth, who thirst so much for love these days.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.com
