Got a wonderful surprise while packing for my flight to Sydney: I am featured on eBenedict, the official World Youth Day Web site of Sydney's diocesan paper and several other Australian Catholic organizations. I like the way writer Cotton Ward put the piece together from researching my blog and interviews—great job!
UPDATE/PRAYER REQUEST, 2:10 p.m.: Leaving for Sydney now. I would be very grateful if you would pray for traveling mercies for me and also pray for the Holy Spirit to guide me and those who attend my talks. A schedule of my WYD talks is on eBenedict; check this blog for last-minute updates. Will blog from Sydney when I can. Will also pray for Dawn Patrol readers there and on the long flights there and back. God bless!
