So said Father Giuseppe Fedele, who oversees the Neocatechu- menal Way in Colorado. Some 300 of the catechumenate's members will be journeying to World Youth Day in Poland at the end of the month. "There is a call from Peter, the Holy Father Francis, to go," Father Fedele said, referring to the pope's message last August when he became the first pilgrim to register for the event and invited youth to attend. The Way group is among the largest if not the biggest from the Archdiocese of Denver going to the July 25-31 inter- national Catholic youth celebration in Krakow, which in keeping with the cur- rent Year of Mercy is themed, "'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy'" (Mt 5:7). This is the first time a World Youth Day has taken place during a jubilee year. "The Lord is waiting for you there," Father Fedele told the Way pilgrims after Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila blessed them June 24 at the St. John Paul II Center in south Denver. His words echoed those of Pope Francis in his World Youth Day 2016 message. "Dear young people … Jesus is wait- ing for you," he wrote. "He has confi- dence in you and is counting on you!" Like the pope, Father Fedele and Archbishop Aquila urged the pilgrims to be a light for the world so desperately in need of Christ's love and mercy. This, too, is a reason for going on the pilgrim- age, they said. "To give to society, especially to Priest to World Youth Day pilgrims: ' The Lord is waiting for you there' Archbishop Samuel J.
