official opening ceremony that showcased the cultural richness of the 21
participating countries. The main event unfolding in the cultural
and intellectual heartland of Indonesia,
August 2-6, was preceded by the Days in the Dioceses
(DID), July 30-August 2, during which the over 2000 youth participants
lived, shared and exchanged experiences with their counterparts while living in
local families of Indonesia’s 11 dioceses.
Bangladeshi Cardinal
Patrick D’Rozario of Dhaka, chairman of the Office of Laity and
Family of theFederation of Asian
Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) was the main celebrant of the opening
Mass. The Youth
Desk of FABC’s Office of Laity and Family organizes the AYD in
collaboration with the country’s bishops’ conference body and its youth
commission. In his homily, Card. D’Rozario reminded the young people
that the reason behind their joy was that Jesus loves them despite their
unworthiness and sinfulness. His homily echoed the theme of the AYD7:
"Joyful Asian Youth! Living the Gospel in Multicultural
Asia.”
Well, Vatican Radio’s Stefano Lesczynski who is in
Yogyakarta, managed to catch up with Card. D’Rozario to know how he is feeling
about the AYD. The cardinal first explained why he thinks the AYD is
important.
