experience of God in simple things and in situations of everyday life?
2. What word, passage, or speech from WYD will I carry with me through the coming days, weeks, months, or years?
3. Who in my everyday life do I need to be more intentional about meeting and knowing more about, just as I met and learned about others in Panamá?
4. What one action will I take to keep the moments, words, and encounters of WYD alive beyond today?
Action: Encourage pilgrims to keep these four pages in their journals, Bibles, or in a special place where they can refer to these notes and resolutions in the future. Encourage them to take these pages into prayer with them.
May these moments and these people continue to guide us in all that we do, in all that we think, and in all that we are, now and for the rest of our lives. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven … Hail Mary, full of grace … Glory be to the Father …
SAMPLE GATHERING # 3 The Joy of the Call: Sent Out as Disciples and Missionaries
Opening Prayer Lord Jesus, we want to bring your love, your peace, your justice, your life to all who are in need of it. Enkindle our hearts, take away our fears, give us strength, enlighten our paths, and guide us onward. Amen.
Closing Prayer Good and gracious God, thank you for the moments of grace, the words of wisdom, and the wonderful people you put along our paths to and from WYD.
Addressing Fears Explain: WYD 2019 has officially come to a close, but the pilgrimage continues. Your duty as missionary disciples is not over. Your missionary mandate may be carried out alone or with others, but each person to become a missionary disciple in some way.
