The Vigil with the Bishop of Rome was a beautiful ceremony of the Word of God, the Light of Christ and of course the teaching and encouragement of the Holy Father. With over 400,000 people present for the Vigil and Sunday Mass there were considered moments of deep peace and quiet which served to settle us all and allowed us to hear and let sink in the scripture and teaching we had heard. It also allowed us to go to that quiet place of our hearts and just think about where we are at with our faith, our level of personal commitment to a personal prayer life with God, our level of service and our great need for the grace of the Holy Spirit to be the active members of our Catholic community that we are all called to be. Once the Vigil was over many of us, with thousands of others managed to spend some quiet time in the tent of Adoration as well as walk around and meet and greet those from all over the world who had come on pilgrimage too. It was great and uplifting to hear from them and to breathe in their enthusiasm and love for their catholic faith and church.
