Day 3: St Dominic Cathedral & Crit Puebla



Hola, today we visited a beautiful church  in the city of Puebla- Santo Domingo (St Dominic’s Church) and attended morning prayer. The main attraction of this church was the Capilla Del Rosario, one of the most elaborately decorated chapels in Mexico. The walls and dome are completely coated ornate sculpture in gold leaf and plaster, including saints and dancing angels. After this, we completed mission at Mexico’s largest rehabilitation centre for kids with physical with mental disabilities. It was heartwarming to be able to witness the dedication that all the staff and volunteers had towards the children and their fasciitis within the centre catering to all the children’s needs. The children were so excited to see us and we spent time talking and playing with them.

Day 5: Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica

Image
Today we visited Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico City. This has been the highlight of my pilgrimage thus far. One of the world’s most revered shrines, Our Lady of Guadalupe is surrounded by museums, the tranquil grottos and of course, the famous tilma imprinted with the image of the Virgin Mary and worn by Juan Diego. I encourage you all to take time to read the story of Juan Diego’s encounter with Mary as this really touched my heart. After that, we went to a local school to reflect on our day following our moving experience at the Basilica. Following this my group went to eat freshly made churros. Yum!! Our day ended early as I had a 3am wake up to fly to Panama via Huston.  I hope you are all enjoying your last week of school holidays. I’m keeping you all in my prayers.  ️

Day 8: Australian gathering in Panama

Image
Today, we had a gathering with all the pilgrims, priests and nuns from Australia. Fr Rob Galela sang songs of praise and I got to dance with Fr Fernando & Bishop Vincent!!   We listened to Arch Bishop Anthony Fisher who spoke about the theme of world youth day. We also listened to other guest speakers who shared their past experiences at WYD.  Later that afternoon, we caught a bus to the Opening Mass for WYD. It was such a humbling experience to gather for a mass amongst hundreds of thousands of people who share in the same faith. We met pilgrims from all over the world and we got to exchange some merchandise with them. It was an incredible experience!
