Remembering The 1995 World Youth Day

How time flies. About this time, sixteen years ago, the largest Papal gathering in Roman Catholic history (current world record holder) happened in Manila. More than 300 thousand Catholic youth from around the globe travelled to the Philippines just to attend the 1995 World Youth Day. The Rizal Park or Luneta saw about 4 million people during the last mass headed by Pope John Paul II. 


And I was there. 

I saw how millions prayed and showed their faith to God. It was the most amazing experience. 

And I will never forget this song "Tell The World of His Love" because it brings back a lot of wonderful memories and good feelings. 



Another song that played a role in the 1995 World Youth Day is "Shine Jesus Shine."




This year, the World Youth Day will be held in Spain (August 2011).
