John Pearce CP (SPIR) World Youth Day Coordinator On 24th & 25th August 2007, four members of our Holy Spirit Province and young people from our Passionist WYD Committee joined members of the Passionist Youth Team from Brisbane for the Vigil of Prayer in the Cathedral and the Pilgrimage to Stradbroke Island with the WYD Cross and Icon. Brisbane had heavy rains all week, so with a wet morning at 5:00 AM, only Christian and Jeremy went out to join the Archbishop and several hundred people for the 6:00 AM pilgrimage up Mt. Coot-tha. When one of the team suggested it would be too much to walk in the rain for 2 hours, and then another three hours on the barge and Island, he was told: “I wonder what would happen if Simon of Cyrene said it was too wet to carry Jesus’ Cross!” The 10:30 AM Pilgrimage on the Barge to Stradbroke Island took 45 minutes each way, with an hour on the Island.
