As a Catholic of just five years, I’ve never been to World Youth Day (WYD). But I’m sure I’ll take our kids in the future. The bi-annual celebration radiates with such power that it’s palpable even across oceans. Millions of fired-up young people, hundreds of Church leaders, and the vicar of Christ on Earth, all gathered to worship Jesus Christ—that’s the right recipe for an explosion of faith.

Watch these two WYD promo videos produced by Grassroots Films, the talented group behind The Human Experience. One is for WYD 2011 in Madrid, and the other for next year’s WYD in Rio de Janeiro.

Crank up your speakers and let your heart soar:
