Pilgrims have returned home, Copacabana Beach has been cleaned and Rio de Janeiro has returned to business as usual, but in the hearts of everyone something has changed. Something has to have changed. This has been my fourth international World Youth Day and every time, something changes. Perhaps it's an insight, perhaps an emotion or a memory. After this WYD there are many memories: Memories of all the people I saw and met; good friends from SpiritandSong.com and World Library Publications; friends from the Catholic Channel on Sirius XM and from the USCCB, Holy Cross Ministries and the Jesuit Conference of the U.S. There are also memories of each event, memories of the one nugget of wisdom of that one insight that I received each and every time Pope Francis spoke. And all these memories come with many emotions. Which is why it's good to look back. We are so lucky to live in a day and age when we can look back at these experiences, thanks to the miracle of technology. And thanks to Salt + Light TV, you'll be able to re-live all the main events of WYD Rio 2013 between August 12-18. We will begin with Pope Francis' historic arrival in Rio de Janeiro. Remember the little Fiat, whizzing down the highway with the Pope sitting in the back with the window down? Remember the wrong turn and the traffic jam and the little Fiat being swarmed by eager fans. Remember the first Pope in 30 years to ride an open Pope Mobile? And the greeting at Guanabara Palace with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff? The Pope said that he came to bring Christ. For me, that set the mood for the whole week: World Youth Day is an occasion for an encounter with Jesus Christ; but we don't go to encounter Him; He comes to encounter us. And Pope Francis had no other agenda but that of a missionary: To bring Christ - to make disciples of all nations. Be sure to tune in tomorrow afternoon for the Papal arrival ceremony and enjoy the rest of the week as we re-live all the main events of WYD Rio 2013.
