My Sprirtual Preparations for #WYD @madrid11_en

For this Madrid WYD 2011, i decided not to join any groups or parishes,but instead to attend it alone. Because of this decision, i am not part of any preparations, that are being undertaken by some parishes. Although ive been invited to join the Assumption Church's group in their preparations, i've not been able to due to conflicting schedules

I beleive that it is important to do some spiritual preparations for the WYD , otherwise it will just be another holiday. Due to our busy lives, it is important to undertake some form of spiritual preparations to open the heart, mind and soul to the softer promptings of the Holy Sprit.

So i decided that in preparation for WYD, starting , 60 days before I will do the Following :

1. To say a decade of the rosary daily
2. To read the daily readings used at Mass each day, and to reflect on it.
3. To share my reflections on the daily readings
4. To offer a prayer each day for different needs and people
5. To document my thoughts, reflection, peparations and etc onlie, to be shared with the pilgrims and those who aspire to attend, but are unable to do so.

As i get closer to WYD, i plan to add on to my spiritual preparations, including

1. Attending daily mass when possible
2. To fast - no breakfast and lunch
3. To abstain from meat everyday

If you are reading this, can i humbly ask for your prayers for me in my preparation and journey. To strengthen me in my resolve and to protect me from distractions
