The KL Archdiocese Single Adults Youth Office (ASAYO) organised the 2nd spiritual formation for the KL Archdiocese pilgrims of World Youth Day Rio 2013. The session was held at Assumption Hall, Petaling Jaya from 9 am to 12.30 pm. Fr Gregory Chan was presenting on "Authentic Evangelisation is Born of Prayer and Sustained by Prayer". Lincoln Lee who is the one of the pilgrims to Rio de Jenerio briefed about final preparation for traveling. We ended the session with the Eucharistic celebration celebrated by Fr Augustine Li.

To ALL Malaysian Pilgrims for the WYD Rio2013:
How are you going to make better use of this experience?

A seed that falls on good soil will surely bear fruits. If you are not spiritually prepared for the WYD, you can lose much of what you receive from God in this journey as soon as you back to the routine of the everyday life. I hope this does not happen to you. If you invest your time in prayers for a profound dialogue with God and Sacred scriptures, participating in the Mass, and spiritual formation then you will experience the grace of God that shines on you. I hope that when you return to Malaysia, you will become a part of the great mission of the Church and make a great difference!

“I have come to light a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!” (Luke12:49)
