A Passionist Legacy

While several Passionist groups have been to WYD in the past, this is the first one where many have made the effort to Encounter one another as a Passionist Pilgrim Group. There is some uncertainty about this, and a number of questions have arisen about the benefit of it. Like many of our other initiatives, we can expect great blessings to flow from
this Encounter with the Holy Spirit. We know we will gain much from the Pilgrimage to WYD.

WHAT WILL OUR LEGACY BE?

What will the Legacy of WYD be? The Legacy of WYD just won’t happen. It needs to be planned for, it needs to be open to change as we engage more with young people, and it needs to have a sense of being ongoing. As these young people (16-25) join the group (26-35) and then grow beyond that into adult family lives (35+), we have to see this time as a great opportunity.

For the Passionists, some questions we need to ask in the coming months are:

• What legacy are we hoping for from our investment in WYD?
• Who will we engage to help us create this legacy?
• What resources can we put in place to make this happen?

SOME ISSUES FOR THE PASSIONISTS

We have made the step to make WYD a major thrust for the Congregation for the years 2006-2008 by way of financial resourcing and personnel. We are calling our young people and Passionists to an Encounter that will lead us into WYD
and beyond.

Some of the questions the Passionist Groups are asked to explore with their Young People before WYD08 are:

• What is the Legacy of WYD08 that we would like to see happening in our Province and Local Ministries with Young People after WYD08?

• How might we prepare for this?

• Who are the people who should be invited to give shape to these dreams?
