Goodbye!

More than 50 young people who were preparing for confirmation in a diaspora parish came. In pairs, we presented them with the logbook ‘My life - windswept and brilliant’ as an assistance for life. They listened attentively. Two of the girls gave me the impression that they were absorbing every word they heard like a dry sponge. Their attitude of openness created a climate in which we were able to share very personal experiences that had helped us find our way in life. When they held the logbook in their hands at the end of the event, I could see the joy in their eyes. These two, of all people, came up short: ‘We just wanted to say goodbye!’ I could see how the message of the day had reached deep into their hearts.
