Teens, young adults hope World Youth Day pilgrimage deepens their life of faith
Katie Sahm recalls the moment as “a glimpse into heaven.” It happened on the white sand of Copacabana beach three years ago. As the waves rolled toward the shore of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Sahm joined the 3 million young people from around the world who had come there, all of them kneeling together in silence on the sand during a time of eucharistic adoration.
