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

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!
