How to Prepare for WYD 2011

  • Prayer, prayer, prayer!  When we head to World Youth Day, we're ultimately seeking to encounter our God who loves us, in all sorts of ways.  However, we don't have to wait until World Youth Day to encounter God...we simply need to turn to Him in prayer and find He's there for us.  Find some way of making prayer a regular part of your daily life - maybe it's just pausing for a few moments each morning and night to thank God, or getting to Mass during the week sometime, joining with friends in prayer or reading the daily readings and reflections on Connect. 
     

  • Connect with others.  Chances are, you're not going to make this pilgrimage alone...get in touch with others who are also keen to go.  Find ways of supporting each other, in prayer, fellowship, and encouragement.  We all need community to get there!
     
  • Open a bank account.  Starting to save just a little bit each week from now will make a huge difference getting to World Youth Day 2011.  Maybe it means an extra lawn-mowing round or babysitting job each week. $20 a week from now until World Youth Day 2011 will give you $3000...that's probably half, right there, of what you'll need to get to Madrid WYD!
 
Other stuff to check out...
  • Learning Spanish.  Why not try you hand at a bit of español?  Although a lot of things will be translated into English (just like they were translated into other languages in Sydney)...a little knowledge of Spanish will go a long way!  Check out the night classes at your local high schools, or if you're at university, maybe you can take a paper in Spanish?  Here's a tip...World Youth Day in Spanish is 'La Jornada Mundial de Juventud' (pronounced la hor-naa-dad mon-dee-al de hoo-ven-tood)


When the time comes be sure to...
