PRE-BOARDING
From the very moment I heard about World Youth Day, I was inclined to learn more about what it meant. It was first brought up to me one day at lunch by one of the Jesuit Priests at the school. He told me a little bit about his experience with the event, and I became intrigued by the event. As I started doing more research, I learned more about what each day would be like and all of the events, artwork, and experiences that the mission would offer.
However, the most captivating moment for me is the sleeping under the stars event. This night allows thousands of people to lay under the stars together, creating a strong awareness of the Lord around us and providing strengthening ties to the community present. This event is what captured my interest the most. I can’t wait to experience it firsthand.
Much like Kairos, I am hoping to come back from this pilgrimage knowing more about God and meeting new people who share the same passion I have for the Catholic faith. I have had several life-changing experiences that have strengthened my faith and have made me who I am today. But, I am still not perfect and don’t set that as a goal for myself. I know that there will be challenges every day and that not everything I do will be done the right way. Yet, I still hope that this mission will help me become a better man of God.
Upon my return to Regis, I hope that I can bring back a version of myself that’s a better role model for others. If I am successful in learning more about the faith and having a life-changing experience, I want to share that with my brothers and sisters in the RJ community. I don’t mean just telling the stories of my travels but also hoping that my experience with the faith can be used as a resource to inspire others. Regis is an amazing place, and I can’t wait to have the experience, and then share it with all that are willing to listen.
