Pilgrim Blog: Day 6

Kevin C:
Today at breakfast bright and early (6 am) I spilled eggs on my pants. I have successfully spilled thing on myself since the day we left for Logan Airport. We took the train to Chatswood and walked roughly 27.776 kilometers. This was a good experience because it was like we were walking in the shoes of the original pilgrims’. The frigid early morning dew was all over ground but soon after the sun shone upon our smiling faces. When we reached upon the church of St. Steven’s, we were warmly welcomed by wallabies’ aka helpers from California. A Franciscan by the awsomest name ever aka brother Colombo played the guitar and made multiple analogies to star wars which was awesome, I was waiting for Bill to come out with his sweet wookie noise. A quote that was dually awesome was “the youth of the world is the popes ‘laser’ (haha) to destroy evil.” The archbishop of Guam said the mass but before that he did a Q and A session and he helped me out a great deal by being the one and only person to define the Holy Sprit for the pilgrims, he defined it as basicly the backstage manager doing all the behind the scenes stuff.
Christopher West’s Talk on the Theology of the Body was in a full 3,000 person hall. He had an opening band that played some rocking songs not so rockingly. However, he was an active speaker. He ran up the isles to give hugs, smooches and high 5’s to people who participated. He gave a difficult topic an easier way of understanding to ‘dem youngings.
Mr. Willitts = Awesome :) he makes us laugh.
Thanks and prayers

Wow Kev - Great day!! Remember that even though the days are looong and the nights fairly short and you are tired, that Jesus felt a million times worse than you when he suffered on the cross for us. Have a fantastic rest of the week and soak every moment of this opportunity in so that when you look back on this pilgrimage, the tiredness and crankiness will be a faint light in the background of this most awesome experience!!!
