I haven't posted in quite awhile, though I do have a lot to say about WYD. I'm interrupting my silence, however, to tell anyone who may still be reading that my brother is going to be received into the CHURCH!!! He called yesterday from college to tell us that he is officially beginning RCIA and to invite us to the Easter Vigil! I cried. lol. I don't cry easily, but I was so overjoyed.
"Dear young people, the happiness you are seeking, the happiness you have a right to enjoy has a name and a face: it is Jesus of Nazareth, hidden in the Eucharist." These were the words of the Holy Father to us at the Vigil, and this is what I feel my brother has at last discovered. My brother and I are very close, and without going into detail, I can say he has suffered a great deal...now he is drawing near to the fount of everlasting love! Praised be Jesus Christ, hidden in the Eucharist, now and FOREVER!!!

God bless your brother; even though he comes to this understanding through sorrow, I am grateful God grace is touching him. May he meet Jesus again in the Eucharist.
I read the quote by our Holy Father in the Catholic Register {a national Canadian bi-weekly newspaper} and was glad to be reminded of it again today. Thanks.
