Even if young people might not realize precisely what they
are looking for, at World Youth Day “Jesus comes to our young people, and our
young people come to Jesus,” said Archbishop Peter Comensoli of Melbourne,
Australia.
“In grace, God has brought them together, and once they’re
together, the Lord knows what to with them.” He said World Youth Days “are a
powerful and wonderful opportunity for our young people to get into the flow of
grace.”
Archbishop Comensoli was talking with Seán Patrick Lovett in
Panama ahead of the opening of World Youth Day 2019.
Memories of World Youth Day in Sydney
Just over ten years ago, in July 2008, Sydney, Australia,
was the host of the 23rd WYD. Asked about his memories of that
event, Archbishop Comensoli said “Sydney was a wonderful event... A little over
ten years on for Australia, and the fruits of 2008 continue to flow in
Australia.”
He highlighted youth ministry in the country, and the building
up of youth discipleship, as “wonderful” examples of those fruits.
