We tend to be appalled every year by the lack of coverage of the March for Life, where 200,000 or so people descend upon the nation's capital in the defense of human life. But how can one even begin to imagine landing after a 9 hour and 14 minute flight from Madrid to Atlanta (waiting to fly home to Cincinnati), greeted by national papers that include a paragraph or two referring to an international event with 2.5 million attendees? So, in the next few days, I hope to offer coverage of the event that was not covered.
For now, let me say this: Our pilgrimage to World Youth Day -- seven teens, four adults -- was a wonderful adventure. We had our share of challenges along the way, as any pilgrimage gladly offers, but we also had many joys, sometimes even in and through the challenges. The Pope was there. God was speaking. Young people were listening. Spain was watching. Fruits will come.
Stay tuned for stories, reporting and pictures ...
I've been waiting 2 weeks for this and it is finally here!
