Filled with Joy

 

By Maria Theresa Seira IKEMATSU (Sunday School Leader Japanese Group)

Asian Youth Day was a very meaningful experience for me. The gathering brought so much joy and fun with sharing and meeting new friends. It was really an experience of great and inexpressive joy, it’s beyond words. We all came from different cultures and communication was a challenge. But sharing our faith brought us the joy of togetherness. For many of us it was God’s calling that brought us here. The journey of my faith has just begun. Meeting new friends from different parts of the world and sharing faith together was really a blessing. I would like to continue to feel blessed and share this fullness of joy as I walk through this journey by sharing God’s love with others.

I am a Sunday school leader. The children who come to Sunday school are precious to me. They are such a gift for St. Ignatius church as well as for the whole Catholic Church. I would like to convey this experience in AYD with them as one of the greatest journeys of my life. I hope that they will have an opportunity to participate and experience Asian Youth Day and World Youth Day in the future.
