After the torrential storms that swept over the city of Kraków on Sunday afternoon, most pilgrims have left the city and taken home the message of The Holy Father's closing homily - that we must believe in a new humanity and take the message of the Gospel into our homes and our lives. Waking up in London on a wet Monday morning, the realisation of what we had encountered on the Campus Misericordae was felt profoundly.
The scale of the site was quite astounding and put the figure of two million into perspective. Many people had to make the eight mile walk back to the centre of the city as trams were suspended and buses were at full capacity. Many would say the walk to and from the site put them in an unenviable position, however it made the WYD experience a true pilgrimage.
