"When I think back to the National Catholic Youth Conference, I realized that I learned a very important revelation.  That revelation is that the Catholic Church is not dead.  This revelation is backed by the fact that in Kansas City, Missouri over 20,000 youth came together to express their faith.  I saw at the conference the many youth running to confession, so that the Father would forgive them of their past and present sins.  I saw the many youth adoring the Holy Eucharist and coming to realize that the Eucharist is not just some bread and wine but the actual Body and Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I think these facts were revealed to all the young and old Catholics who were at the NCYC.  In conclusion, I think all Catholics should know that their Faith is strong and alive, and to those who believe that the Catholic Church is dead, they should only take a good look at its Youth.   My God bless the whole Catholic Church and may we all know that just as the theme of NCYC said, “Christ Reigns in us, through us, and among us.” Amen."
