Days in the Diocese Commissioning Mass, Telstra Dome

It was a joyous scene all over Melbourne. I headed down to the city by train. Pilgrims from all over the world were in the same train singing their praises at the top of their voices. Cheering and challenging other coutries pilgrims. This reminded me of the world scout jamboree I attended in Thailand 6 years ago combined with the patriotism from the commonwealth games. People from all over the world united for a cause. A common interest, a common goal, to worship God.

For the whole weekend the pilgrims were just walking around the city with their flag held high, strumming their guitars, singing and just having fun. It kind of gave Melbourne a jolt of fun at that time.
