To start of, today was the best experience of my life. To kick start our day we listened bagpipes and Andy Adino which transitioned into our first keynote speakers Cardinal Daniel Dinardo and Brian Johnson. After they showed us how to live a life for god, we witnessed a spectacular Adoration service. Afterwards all the Saint Mary guys and I all went down to the all male workshop "Bending not Breaking" which was given by Bob Perron. In this work shop we recieved a whole new perspective on the roles of bullying and being bullied. Later in the day, after lunch, most of Saint Mary's went to Father Tony's workshop "Don't Be Stupid". With some five or six thousand people Father Tony taught what being ignorant and being stupid is. Ignorant is not know what is wrong and do it. While stupid is knowing what is wrong and doing it anyway. In the "oldschool" style he said "I don't care how you feel, but I love you enough to tell you the truth". I was just floored with his whole speech from laughs to the most eye opening truths. Afterwards The Saint Mary's gang went to eat dinner together before going to the Evening General Session. Opening with Matt Maher Band, and they gave a simply stunning performance to get us ready for our next two speakers, Jason and Crystalina Evert. The Evert's brought us their Chasisty seminar, which was very perspective altering. Both Jason and Crystalina had very different things to bring to both sexes respectively. What struck home with was Jason's idea of your future spouse, and how you should respect wemon while dating them because you don't want someone else not respecting your future spouse. We ended the night with the youth animators and one of MCs Steve Angrisano, with a very strong prayer.
God Bless,
