The Spirit of JMJ

Dear friends from around the world,
 
We are very happy that you are interested in the English edition of the
World Youth Day book!
 
We hope you will find happiness and, after reading the stories contained within the pages of this book, you will join us at the next World Youth Day!
 
World Youth Day Rio 2013 united 4 million people from every nation to participate in the greatest celebration of faith in the world. These WYD meetings started in 1985 and, since then, and thanks to the great Saint John Paul II, have been hosted in different countries and cities every two or three years.

This book is a collection of stories of people, of various nationalities and backgrounds, who describe how they experienced this amazing event in Rio de Janeiro.

We are sure that these stories rekindle fond memories from previous World Youth Days (WYD), as well as inspire you to go to the future ones!

We can’t wait to see you there!
