6. Pilgrims TOGETHER on the way towards WYD RIO
Itinerary in eight stages from December 2012 to July 2013
We are following a itinerary of preparation for WYD Rio 2013
during the liturgical year, meditating on the WYD theme and
encouraged by Pope Francis and reading the messages of Pope
emerit Benedict XVI while remembering that we are celebrating
the Year of Faith, the 50th anniversary of EVCII and the 20th
anniversary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Our heart
beats with the local Church and with the universal Church!
The structure:
a biblical thought on the theme «Go and make disciples of all nations!»
(cfr. Mt 28, 19) (Romano Penna)
an account of an experience of faith and mission of a young CA member
a presentation of a witness of holiness (from the official site)
a reflection on the Creed with a quotation from EVCII (Stella Morra)
the reading of a paragraph from the Pope's message (eight in all)
9. World Youth Day is not simply a gathering
for the young people of the world, but a time
to put trust in the world's youth.
A calling for the world's youth to come
together as one people.
For the Catholic Action young people the
participation to the World Youth Day is
always the contact with what the universality
of faith means.
We live in the local Church and in the
universal Church in the same time!
10. During the WYD we have a concrete experience
of the two ones: we participate with the youth of
our local Church and we meet young people of
other local churches: we are local and universal!
The meeting of Catholic Action young people
gathered in Rio for WYD 2013 will be a proper
time to SHARE, in different ways, faith in
Christ, the attachment to the Christian beliefs ,
the love for the Church and the joy of belonging
to Catholic Action family.
