This comprises a programme of thirteen stages from Pentecost 2010 to WYD 2011 (August), one for each month. Each stage includes a verse from the preparatory prayer written specifically for the occasion and the testimony of a young Catholic Action member who is on the road to sanctity. This is a simple way to start our spiritual pilgrimage in preparation for WYD and to “warm up” our hearts and minds!

The structure
– A verse from the prayer in preparation for WYD
– A brief meditation on one of the Gospels of the liturgical feasts of the period will be given every month.
– Each meditation will present two/three lines of an anthropological nature followed by a short reflection on the word of God.
-The testimony of a young Catholic Action member who has been declared Saint or Blessèd, his/her words and the words which the Holy Father has said about him/her.

How?
This meditation may be used for personal prayer or in parish or diocesan groups. It could be an occasion to meet young people from other Youth Groups and could be a conjoint way of preparing for World Youth Day. It is envisaged that the meditation will be printed on an A4 sheet, front and back, and so it will be easy to photocopy it and to circulate it among your friends.
