I’ve experienced how difficult it is to exercise your faith in public, and seeing over 60 thousand Catholics, including many young people, excited about Jesus in the Eucharist was simply inspiring. All the youth I went with from our diocese got something powerful from the pilgrimage. For me, it was a powerful encouragement not to be afraid. Not to fear standing up for the faith, spreading the faith, or even fully believing that God is real and alive! The Eucharistic Congress was the most impactful experience of my life.”
