What was the WYD 2013 message for you?

Deacon Pedro

Thursday, October 24, 2013

Every WYD has a theme and WYD 2013 was no different. Matthew 28:19 “go and make disciples of all nations” inspired everything that happened in Rio de Janeiro this past summer. But Pope Francis was part of many events and celebrations. Outside of the four main World Youth Day events, he was part of some 13 non-World Youth Day events. And every time he spoke he had a specific message.
This week on a Weekly Edition of Perspectives, we’re asking, other than “go and make disciples of all nations” what was the WYD message for you?
So be sure to join Deacon Pedro and his two guests, two WYD Pilgrims, Oriana Bertucci, Director of Campus Ministry, Ryerson University and Catholic blogger and stay-at-home-dad, Josh Canning, as they remember World Youth Day 2013 in Rio de Janeiro and especially focus on all of Pope’s Francis’ messages during the week-long event.
Perspectives: The Weekly Edition, this Friday, October 18, 2013 7pm and 11pm ET (8pm PT) and
Sunday, October 20, 2013, 7pm and 11pm ET (8pm PT).

Have you ever asked yourself the question: who did Jesus go to see first after rising from the dead? We know that when the disciples arrived at the tomb first thing on Easter morning, Jesus was not there. Where did He go? Saints over the centuries have said that He probably went to see His […]

Have you ever imagined the moment when Jesus rose from the dead? The Gospels don’t tell us anything about the actual moment of the resurrection. We know the disciples found the tomb empty on Easter Sunday. But what must it have been like the moment Jesus came back to life, when His body went from […]

Have you ever felt stuck in the dark, longing for some new light to shine in your life? Jesus knows what it’s like to feel trapped in the darkness. That’s what He experienced on the night of Holy Thursday, as he waited to be put on trial and condemned. So too, Jesus comes to sit […]

Deacon-structing Christmas: Had Jesus Not Been Born | Part 3

Deacon Pedro

For the last two weeks (part 1 and part 2) I’ve been trying to imagine what our world would be like had Jesus never been born. It’s easy to say that The Church would not exist or that we would have no Pope. There would be no priests, deacons, religious sisters or brothers, nor there […]

Deacon-structing Christmas: Had Jesus Not Been Born | Part 2

Last week I was imagining a world without Christmas. That would mean no Christmas music and no Christmas movies. But a world without Jesus would mean much more to our popular culture. One of my favourite Broadway musicals is Les Miz. I never read the novel, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and wasn’t crazy about […]
