From Wednesday 3 to Sunday 7 February, several thousand young adults of different denominations will gather in Manila, from the Philippines, from Asia and from the other continents.
The “Taize pilgrimage of trust” will provide avenue for the youn people to share their joys and open new paths of hope together, deepening their faith and commitment in the Church and in the society and searching for truth, living in the spirit of Christ with young people coming from all over the Philippines and from abroad.
The 20 participants of the Caceres Youth and Campus Ministry (CYCM), headed by Fr. Rex Hidalgo, were warmly welcomed and received by the Parish of Our Lady of the Immaculate Concepcion, Tayuman, Tondo Manila, with Msgr. Claro Matt Garcia, the parish priest. From there they will go to the families, “foster homes”, where they will be staying throughout the meeting. 77 welcome centres, including Catholic parishes and some non-catholic parishes, will take part.
A group of students coming from Universidad de Sta Isabel and University of Nueva Caceres are participating this youth gathering.
Each morning begins with 7.30 Morning Prayer in the parishes. The prayer is followed by small group meetings, with themes based on the “Letter from China” by Brother Alois and published during the recent pilgrimage of trust meeting in Poznan, Poland. Around 10.00 am, everyone departs for Don Bosco Technical Institute, Makati, for lunch, mid day prayer (1pm), the afternoon activities, supper, and evening prayer (7.00pm). Each day, Brother Alois will give a meditation during one of the prayers.
While the Thursday afternoon reflection is devoted to “Letting Christ send us out to transmit his love” and Saturday afternoon to “discovering local initiatives in order to continue the ‘pilgrimage of trust’ after returning home”, Friday afternoon is given over to a wide choice of theme workshops: “Listening to the God who speaks, Listening as God listens: reflection led by Bishop Antonio Tagle from the Philippines"; “Seeing Christ in the stranger… Stories and experiences shared by a priest involved in refugee work”; “Dialogue of life between people of different religions: a road to peace. Young Christians and Muslims from Mindanao share their hope”; “God is at work in us – how to discover his call? Reflection and discussion led by a brother of Taizé” …
On Sunday, 7 February, Cardinal G. Rosales, Archbishop of Manila, will preside at the Eucharistic Celebration. The meeting in the Philippines has been prepared in close collaboration with the ECY-NSYA Episcopal Commission on Youth - National Secretariat for the Youth
