It is not too late to join the journey. The response to this Consecration Journey led by Bishop Donal McKeown has been tremendous. There is something special about being led by a Shepherd on a spiritual journey. Entering the Jubilee year grants extra graces and a plenary indulgence for participating in a diocesan spiritual exercise, mission, or formation activity, as long as the other requirements for receiving the plenary indulgence are fulfilled as well.It is not too late to start. The first three days are included below.
There are two ways to participate, either on YouTube or Facebook. Each day is led at 7:00 p.m. local time in Ireland (2:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If you cannot join at that time, watch as soon as you are able. While there averages around 500 people LIVE over the two mediums, we are seeing that over 3,000 people are tuning in over the 24-hour period. Given that each person joining often represents a household, we happily recognize that the number of people actually participating may be closer to 10,000.This journey can be done by adults, and young people can also participate. Parents and grandparents can also make the journey on behalf of a child or grandchild. We have worked closely on the development of a Consecration certificate for parents and grandparents to use to Consecrate those under their authority.
A Second Option is to Unite in this Journey on Facebook |
