My own interaction with young people has been shaped by WYD. Learning from the examples of the popes, I try to make myself open and responsive to the young, confident that sincerity and honesty and true love of Christ and His Church become their own message, become the most important message we bishops can share. They will know it if they see it in us.

The youth from the United States bring a unique gift to WYD. American culture is both feared and desired all over the world. There are questions about how one’s own faith survives the powerful technological and cultural tsunami that is American life. These young people will be a hopeful testimony of faithful and joyful disciples of Jesus who in the midst of an adversarial social environment still possess a faith that thrives on the good news of Jesus.

Madrid will rock this week as nearly a million young people descend upon it for World Youth Day 2011. The youth will bring their brand of music and Christian rock and they will sing, dance, pray, sway giving new life to the old Catholic wineskins of Catholic Spain.
