World Youth Day 2008

Even though there are inherent differences between Christians and Catholics, there are many similarities between the two religions. We all believe in God, the Trinity - the Father, being the creator of heaven and earth; the Son, being our Lord and Saviour and the Holy Spirit, our comforter. It is because of these similarities that we should all support World Youth Day to the extent we can.

This event brings religion to the forefront again, and we should cherish this opportunity to discuss such issues with the people around us, as the awkwardness is minimised due to this current event. We can explain our faith to others, and telling them about why we believe in Christ, and why we believe in the Holy Word of God alone.

We should learn from the devotional nature of the pilgrims, who traveled far and wide to this place, where they can worship the Lord together. We, on the other hand, struggle just to get out of bed and be at church on time.

We should make use of this time, as this type of event may not occur again anytime soon in our home town.
