Sister Anastasia Ho, CSN
I live in Australia! Behind the scenes here in Australia planning and preparation for the world arriving at our door step have been at fever pitch for a long time. Prior to the event WYD 08 it was on the minds of everyone you met in Catholic circles – everyone! My journey towards WYD 08 began in Geraldton with the Journey of the Cross and Icon arriving in the city in which I live.

The atmosphere was electric, the colour brilliant and the crowd’s energy infectious.

For me WYD Sydney 2008 was a wonderfully life-changing and life giving experience. I believe it was a wake-up call to open my heart to the Holy Spirit for the ongoing mission of God’s kingdom. It was a generous celebration of life, both in a physical and spiritual sense.

The following are some of the highlights of my personal experiences before, during, and after World Youth Day.
