World Youth Day 2011 Madrid has been quite a ride. I don't think we realize what the magnitude of this event will do for Madrid and for Spain as a country. Only time will tell. But for now, I can tell for sure that many young people had a re-awakening and deepening of faith.
This is the Eucharistic Adoration (Summit) that was organized by Catholic Christian Outreach and presided over by Fr. Simon Lobo, CC.
This is the Love & Life Center, the main English-speaking site organized by the Knights of Columbus and the Sisters of Life.
Daily mass with dozens of bishops and hundreds of priests and religious and thousands of lay people.
Awaiting the arrival of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict.
The streets were full of young pilgrims.
CCO had to have a short meeting upon learning that the Papal motorcade had been diverted due to security reasons.
We had to settle with seeing the Pope on the giant screens.
Sitting and having supper on the street - life of a WYD pilgrim.
