World Youth Day and treating Pope as celebrity?

This is a sharing from Paul about his World Youth Day experience in Madrid. One of our friends was skeptical that World Youth Day (WYD) is like admiring Pope like celebrity. The pope goes around and waves hand here and there to the youth.

The truth is...
It's not the case.

Paul said that that when you see the Holy Father passing the crowds, you can see that he looked to every eyes that he meets and he is contemplative. You can feel that he's praying for each person that he looks at. Isn't it beautiful?

Another beautiful truth about WYD is many people find the vocations through WYD. Sharmini has been a volunteer in three WYDs (this is her third one!) and she told me that she really witnessed her friends found the special path that God wants in WYD. For Paul himself, he learn more about the path that God has prepared for him through the people he was going with in the last WYD.

So........
pray for the fruits of World Youth Day :)
