World Youth Day 2011: A great show of faith

Catholic youth outside a Church

Pope Benedict XVI recently visited Madrid, Spain where he celebrated World Youth Day with about 2+ million Catholics. From all around the world Catholics answered the Pope's call to join him in Spain for so many great events. Even though the event was a great success, it was very sad to see some protests which were going on against him. Many Catholic youth downed the protests with prayer, and not violence. Many stood up to the protesters showing them how strong the Catholic faith truly is.

Some protesters were screaming at the World Youth Day participants, but they continued to pray for them. A great show of faith among youth it is indeed, as the Church needs people to stand up for what it believes in. If you're a Roman Catholic, you should take upon the example of these fine young Catholics. We must continue to show off our faith to the world, as the world can no longer reject it.

These young Catholics answered the Pope's call to join him in Spain, and he's also calling you for another place too! That is Rio de Janeiro, where the same meeting will take place, like it did in Madrid. Looking forward to see you there; let's show off our faith!
