World Youth Day (Part II)

Awesome, incredible, perfect...These are some of the adjetives that would define the WYD in Madrid these days.

Despite the fear that existed about WYD, everything turned out even better than it was expected, because more than a million and a half young people were in Madrid supporting the Pope. In fact, it has been the highest concentration in the history of Spain! A lot of people used to say that we were a few, but as spanish people always sing: "Esta es la juventud del Papa" that means in english: "this is the Pope´s youth",and once again we have shown that many of us follow the Pope.

These days have been very hot, except the last one which unfortunately rained, but it did not matter because the most important thing was to be with the Pope supporting his cause. The only negative thing was the "indignados", a few group of people who were against the Pope´s visit and they tried to bother doing demonstrations complaining of the expenses that cost this event.

However, everything were wonderful, even all of us that were in the lifehouse followed the WYD here in New York and it gave us strength to continue fighting for our cause, the fight against abortion.

So thank you very much Benedict XVI!!
