1. Tu amor nos edifica<br />

y fortalece.<br />
Tu carne nos redime<br />
y nos abraza,<br />
tu sangre nos renueva<br />
y nos embriaga.<br />

up and keeps us rooted,<br />
Your cross, it gives us<br />
constant strength and<br />
courage,<br />
Your flesh, it ever saves<br />
us and sustains us,<br />
Your blood, it flows to<br />
cheer us and renew us.

6. Tus jóvenes<br />
caminan con María,<br />
que canta como<br />
novia engalanada.<br />
Con ella cantaremos<br />
tu victoria,<br />
la muerte ha sido ya<br />
aniquilada.<br />
6. We are the young,<br />
and Mary journeys<br />
with us,<br />
And like a joyful bride<br />
she sings your praises;<br />
With her we too shall<br />
sing and praise your<br />
triumph,<br />
Because already death<br />
has been defeated.

Opening Prayer<br />
Presence of God<br />
In the silence of my innermost being,<br />
in the fragments of my yearned-for<br />
wholeness,<br />
can I hear the whispers of God's presence?<br />
Can I remember when I felt God's nearness?<br />
When we walked together and I let myself be<br />
embraced by God's love.
Opening Prayer<br />
Freedom<br />
God is not foreign to my freedom.<br />
Instead the Spirit breathes life into my most<br />
intimate desires,<br />
gently nudging me towards all that is good.<br />
I ask for the grace to let myself be enfolded<br />
by the Spirit.
Opening Prayer<br />
Consciousness<br />
Knowing that God loves me unconditionally,<br />
I can afford to be honest about how I am.<br />
How has the last day been, and how do I feel<br />
now?<br />
I share my feelings openly with the Lord.
Opening Prayer<br />
The Word<br />
God speaks to each one of us individually.<br />
We ask the Holy Spirit to be with us to help us<br />
be open to God’s Word.<br />
As you listen, reflect on a word or phrase that<br />
speaks to you at this moment.
Opening Prayer<br />
SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:13-35<br />
The Road to Emmaus: When we journey<br />
as pilgrims, we see things more clearly and<br />
can feel the movement of God in our lives.
Opening Prayer<br />
What are you saying to me,<br />
Lord?
Rembrandt's Supper at Emmaus
Opening Prayer<br />
Where do you recognise Jesus<br />
in your life?
An Australian Prayer for<br />
<strong>World</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Day</strong> 2011<br />
God of hope and grace,<br />
send your Holy Spirit upon us<br />
as our helper and guide.<br />
As we prepare for <strong>World</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Day</strong> in Madrid,<br />
help us to build upon the many<br />
graces and experiences<br />
that were the fruit of<br />
<strong>World</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Day</strong> in Sydney.
Send forth the power of the Spirit upon us<br />
so that we may continue to be your witnesses<br />
in service and love to other youth in Australia.<br />
May we journey together in the great south<br />
land of the Holy Spirit<br />
and share in this pilgrimage of faith<br />
to the ends of the earth.
Pour your grace into our lives<br />
so that we may be<br />
apostles of reconciliation<br />
and builders for the new creation.<br />
Nourish and unite us through the Eucharist,<br />
so that firm in the faith we may be planted<br />
and built up in Jesus Christ.
We ask this through the intercession of Our<br />
Lady of the Southern Cross<br />
and in the healing name of our Lord Jesus,<br />
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy<br />
Spirit<br />
one God forever and ever.<br />
Amen.<br />
Mary, Help of Christians. Pray for us.<br />
Saint Mary MacKillop. Pray for us.

More than a tourist …
Spiritual <strong>Formation</strong><br />
What is a Pilgrimage?
Spiritual <strong>Formation</strong><br />
Pilgrimage is an ancient practice which is<br />
a part of the tradition of all great faiths.<br />
The tradition of pilgrimage, ancient and<br />
new, invites us as Catholics to set aside<br />
sacred time, to stand apart from the<br />
busyness of our daily lives and reflect on<br />
the great treasure that we have in the<br />
person of Jesus Christ.
Spiritual <strong>Formation</strong><br />
Pilgrimmage involves:<br />
• Taking a journey of discovery<br />
• Encountering the sacred<br />
• Living a simple lifestyle<br />
• Sharing with others en route<br />
• Gaining a new perspective
Spiritual <strong>Formation</strong><br />
Do you have your own significant place<br />
where you have found a closer<br />
connection to God?
Spiritual <strong>Formation</strong><br />
Pilgrim spirituality teaches us that the<br />
meaning of life is not found at the end<br />
of the journey, but in the very journey<br />
itself.
Spiritual <strong>Formation</strong><br />
At the end of a <strong>WYD</strong> pilgrimage, the biggest<br />
items taken home are graces and memories.<br />
These memories and graces have breathed<br />
new life into our faith communities and the<br />
Church.<br />
How exciting to be on the verge of also<br />
being able to experience and collect your<br />
own memories and graces!!!

Travel Tips<br />
Stuff to start thinking about
Health<br />
Visit your doctor to ask about any vaccinations /<br />
boosters you may need for your travels. Anyone<br />
taking prescription medication will need a letter<br />
from their doctor stating what the medication is<br />
and that it is for personal use only.<br />
Keep medication in its original packaging so it is<br />
clearly labelled with your name and the dosage<br />
to avoid customs problems.<br />
All pilgrims need to be self-medicating while on<br />
pilgrimage, if you are unable to do this, please let<br />
the leadership team know.
Health<br />
Carry your own small first aid kit. If you are carrying<br />
any headache tablets, please check that they do<br />
not contain codeine (e.g. panadeine), as it is illegal<br />
in some of the countries we will be visiting. Make<br />
sure you have something for diarrhoea and other<br />
stomach upsets just in case.<br />
Prepare Physically. Take the time now to start<br />
walking once or twice a week, and gradually work<br />
up to walking everyday for the two or three weeks<br />
before we leave. Use this time to walk in your<br />
hiking shoes, as sore feet while your away will<br />
hinder the experience. With proper physical<br />
preparation you will have less chance of becoming<br />
sick or too tired during the week of <strong>WYD</strong>.
Health<br />
Negotiating Air Travel. When in the air take the<br />
time every hour to walk around and stretch you<br />
legs. This helps you sleep when needed and<br />
limits jet lag on arrival. Loosen shoes and laces<br />
to promote good blood flow through your legs to<br />
prevent swollen ankles and other issues such as<br />
Deep Vein Thrombosis.<br />
Health care begins with the pilgrim. If you have<br />
medical requirements, the primary responsibility<br />
lies with you.
Communication<br />
Organise your mobile phone. Speak with your mobile<br />
phone provider about using international roaming<br />
on your phone including the costs for use. Be sure<br />
to turn data roaming off (unless of course you can<br />
afford the bill!)
Travel Tips<br />
Organise Travel Insurance. This can be done through<br />
Harvest or independently. It is very important that<br />
you have appropriate Travel Insurance!<br />
Call your bank. Let them know that you will be<br />
travelling overseas and may be using your<br />
ATM/Credit Card. Also find out if your cards work in<br />
other countries and any fees that may apply.<br />
Organise a variety of ways to access your money<br />
overseas.<br />
Make sure you have a PIN. Many European<br />
merchants require you to use a PIN rather than<br />
sign when you use your credit card. Get a PIN now<br />
just to be on the safe side.
Travel Tips<br />
Make copies of important travel documents. Make<br />
two photocopies of your passport, travel insurance<br />
details, itinerary and ATM/Credit Cards. Keep one<br />
copy with you in a separate place to the original<br />
and leave a copy with a trusted friend or family<br />
member. Also scan a copy of these documents and<br />
email it to yourself so that you can access them<br />

When overseas, your passport is your identity. To<br />
avoid losing all of your ID at once, keep your credit<br />
cards, traveller's cheques and passport separate<br />
but safe.
Travel Tips<br />
Be a smart traveller. Our pilgrimage groups will be<br />
registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs<br />
and Trade (DFAT) in case of an emergency. Anyone<br />
who is travelling outside the standard pilgrimage<br />
arrangements is strongly encouraged to visit<br />
smartraveller.gov.au to register their travel<br />
separately.

specifically at Packlists and pilgrim safety while<br />
overseas<br />
• Here are some suggestions if you are looking<br />
at purchasing luggage for your overseas travel<br />
- Don‟t buy anything you can‟t carry on your<br />
own<br />
- Be aware of the differences between<br />
backpacks and suitcases and travel<br />
backpacks vs hiking backpacks<br />
- Are you buying something for the longterm?<br />
Consider good quality zips / harness<br />
/ padding / wheels / stitching
Packing Lists<br />
Clothing<br />
• Pack casual summer clothing and a hat - at least<br />
one jumper<br />

Packing Lists<br />
Clothing – Holy Land<br />
• Generally people need to make sure their shoulders<br />
are covered and their legs are covered down to the<br />
knees.<br />
• Please bring the following to wear at sacred sites:<br />
Men - pants (not shorts), tops with sleeves (T-shirt)<br />
Women - pants or a skirt at least mid-calf length,<br />
tops with sleeves to cover bare arms (or use a scarf<br />
or light jacket).<br />
As it will be very hot, both men and women may<br />
consider taking “zip-off” pants so they do not need<br />
to wear full-length pants all day.

Packing Lists<br />
Basic Principles<br />

• There may be times where we will need to carry<br />
our bags long distances and the more you carry,<br />
the harder the journey will be.<br />
• Ensure that you pack appropriate clothing both for<br />
the heat of the day and for the respect of church<br />
traditions.
