World Youth Day (WYD) is the largest youth event in the world and was held in Sydney from July 15th through July 20, 2008.
WYD 2008 attracted 223,000 registered pilgrims, including 110,000 from 170 nations making it the largest event ever hosted in Australia.
The theme for 2008 was "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses" (Acts 1, 8)
On our journey to WYD08 in Sydney we anticipated the promise of the gift of the Holy Spirit
and found there the grace and light to be the witnesses to Jesus Christ. Now as we journey
onwards towards Eternity, filled with the Spirit of Jesus, let us not be afraid of what may lie
ahead of us on our race to the finish line, trusting that we have a great cloud of witnesses
spurring us on, that we are not alone, and that even in our weakness Christ is renewing the
world by His power. Yes, using our feeble but significant efforts He is making all things new.
As the Holy Father Pope Benedict said at the Vigil, "To be truly alive is to be transformed from
within, open to the energy of God's love. In accepting the power of the Holy Spirit you too can
transform your families, communities and nations." Bishop Anthony Fisher, OP – WYD Coordinator

and Catholics not
because we worship a
key, but because we
have passed a door;
and felt the wind that
is the trumpet of
liberty blow over the
land of the living."
