Helllllllooooooo Everyone!
So we are back from our experiences and reunited in Madrid. Everyone has had an amazing week and hopefully everyone will get a chance to share what they did over the past few days.
My group (Mike Prescia, Nicole Casey, and Mateusz Plaza) had an incredible time journeying between Loyola and Javier in the Basque Country. But at least for me, it was also the most physically, mentally, and spiritually challenging experience of my life. At the end of the week, we walked over 144 kilometers (almost 90 miles) through steep slopes, rocky passages, jungles, forests, and endless plains and have gained immeasurable spiritual insights. We all feel so blessed to have had this experience and to have shared it with one another and with our new friends from Spain, Mauritius, and Taiwan.
Today, WYD begins with an opening Mass and an wide assortment of programs (concerts, prayer sessions, conferences, etc). Everyone's excited for the events of this week and to finally see the Pope on Wednesday!
I hope to update with some pictures later, but for now, keep us in your prayers!!!
Many Blessings Always,
Roxanne

ReplyDeleteGlad you are back from your spiritual journey. What an amazing experience it must have been! (I wish I was there!). The physical pain will go away soon and now you can at least complain HaHa!!.
