If you can't make it to World Youth Day in Madrid Aug. 16-21 in person, the tech-savvy have created a virtual pilgrimage website where you can create an avatar, follow twitter updates, facebook updates, watch video, etc. It's kinda fun actually - they've even made a little Pope avatar (even though the Pope will be there - haha!) Around 2,398 people have signed up virtually as of now. Learn more here.
But, of course, you will also want to unite yourself with WYD pilgrims not only through technology but also spiritually through prayer and the Sacraments. :)
By the way, in a lot of the WYD 2011 Logos like the one pictured, instead of "WYD" you may have seen "JMJ" which stands for "Jornada Mundial de la Juventud" which means "World Youth Day" in Spanish since it's being held in Madrid, Spain this year.
BLESSED JPII THE GREAT- Pray for us! We are so blessed with him & Papa B. Gives me goosebumps!!!
