hi, I love your posts. Just discovered them today and this is the second article I am reading. I am a Catechism teacher in my parish in Nigeria, to add to this, I usually use a different analogy that brings in the Sacrament of penance,
I tell my students that sin is like oil that stains our white garments that we are to wear into heaven, the Sacrament of penance helps wash this white robe, and indulgence makes the while sparkling and fit to enter heaven if we die.
I think I would add your analogy to that. Thanks
The World Youth Day is to put it succinctly plain goofy. It’s honestly an abomination of sorts…but at the very least goofy…
An abomination. Do you know how many young people were strengthened in their faith MIKEY JOE? 2 million young pilgrims (I was one of them), were brought before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and had almost direct contact with Peter’s successor, Pope Francis. World Youth Day is one of the primary evidences in the world that the Catholic faith is not dead, that She (although battle scarred and constantly fighting) is the Church Jesus Christ founded for our salvation. Ask any one of the 2 million pilgrims, and we’ll all give you the same answer. Jesus Christ worked powerfully in World Youth Day through the intercession of His Most Holy Mother, and I hope and pray He will do the same at the next. Go next time, it might change your mind on ‘goofiness’, and ‘abominations’.
