Young people at the Cuatro Vientos air base felt their passion for God and the Church renewed after experiencing an evening of torrential rainstorms together with Pope Benedict XVI on August 20.
“To see the man that is leading you and the world in your faith, and the fact that he cares enough to put up with the rain himself, is so inspiring,” Michelle Emit, a 19-year old Australian, told CNA.
Speaking from the heart and full of passion, Emit said that seeing and hearing the Pope, with so many other young people, “makes you want more than anything to be Catholic and devote your whole life to Jesus Christ.”
Such moments “redirect your life to Christ” and put things back in perspective, she reflected. “I am so glad to be Catholic and to be here!”
