Kiribati [rozklad stron tylko na podglad] LQ

Day 14
Before joining 2 million plus young people from
all over the world in the Vigil with Pope Francis,
we took advantage to go from the high peaks on
one day, to the deeper points on another. We
visited the Wieliczka Salt Mines. This is one of
the oldest salt mines in operation in Europe. It
offers a phenomenal structure, with a gorgeous
chapel inside it. We contemplated what man
can do when puts in practice all the gifts that
God gives him. Then, we headed to Campus
Misericordiae for the moment we all awaited.
We had a long walk to the field. We were
surrounded by hundreds of flags of all types
and colors, although the most beautiful one was
the <strong>Kiribati</strong> flag! Joy and excitement filled us,
and we waited anxiously for the arrival of Pope
Francis. We were allocated space very far from
the stage and had to follow everything through
the radio. When Pope Francis arrived his words
consoled and motivated us immensely. We had
no problem to sleep outdoors and remain in
vigil for the coming Mass with Pope Francis.
Day 15
A very sunny day was reserved for us. God
contained the water and sent the clouds to
protect us as we celebrated with Pope Francis
the Mystery of the Eucharist. He delivered
a fantastic homily, full of energy and very
Francis’ like. He called us to not be afraid.
He spoke about Zacchaeus, entrusted us the
mission to look for the Lord, to search for him,
and to never look down, to not be ashamed
of ourselves, on the contrary, risk, trust in the
Lord and follow him wherever he takes you.
We were delighted to be with the Holy Father
and listen to his words. With our hearts filled
by his words we joined the crowd screaming
and jumping when the place of the next World
Youth Day was announced, Panama in 2019.
We will be there too.

Day 16
In order to close up our pilgrimage, we attended
a Vocational Meeting with the Initiator of
the Neo-Catechumenal Way, Kiko Argüello.
We were 150 thousand young people from
over 80 different nations. It was fantastic, we
received the Kerygma and after that the call for
vocations: 12 of our 13 boys answered the call
to the Priesthood and 3 of our 10 girls stood up
with the desire to give their lives to the Lord. We
were very blessed to sit right in front of the stage
and we were visited by Cardinal Seán O’Malley
from Boston, who greeted us and took a picture
with our group. Thank you Cardinal for your
immense contribution to these 24 miracles and
your kindness to us. May God bless you!
Day 15
Our Last day in Poland, we closed it as we
started it, Evangelizing!!! We headed to the
town of Wrocław and we announced the
Kerygma in the old town in front of thousands
who were walking around enjoying the day. It
was the best way to finish our pilgrimage. God
blessed us with a Eucharist where we exploded
with happiness and gratefulness for everything
He has done for us. We finished singing and
dancing at the song of Dayenu, how many good
things has the Lord showered on us!
Thank you all! And we hope to see you in
Panama!
