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 your 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 taking post or pre optional trip to Madrid following options are available:

 

MADRID - $39 per person. Madrid, morning or afternoon tour with sights: the Gran Via Plaza de España, the Viaduct, Plaza Major, the Bull Ring, Independence and Cibeles Squares, the University, and the Paseo de la Castellana. We will have time to visit the famous Prado Museum.

 

AVILA with lunch - $115 per person. We begin our day with a drive to Avila, walled city, the birthplace of St. Teresa of Jesus, the Church's greatest and most influential mystic.  Bisit the Cathedral and the Convent of the Incarnation (Mass), where St. Teresa lived for three decades and St. John of the Cross, her spiritual director and confessor lived for the last two years of her life. Lunch included in Avila.

 

TOLEDO - $68.  Toledo is where St. John of the Cross spent much of his life and the Middle Age Christian, Jewish and Moorish cultures co - existed for many years.  See this spectacular imperial city, residence Alcazar, the 13th century Synagogue and the Gothic Cathedral (Mass)

 

FLAMENCO & SPANISH DANCING - $76.  Optional evening of Flamenco dance at the famous Torres Bermejas Night Club and experience the exciting night life of Madrid.
