🕊️ On the Road to WYD Seoul 2027 🏃‍♀️🏃

Inspired by the spirit of courage and hospitality at the heart of WYD Seoul 2027, Peace Run brings people together through running as we take steps toward peace.
Peace doesn’t always begin with something big.
Sometimes, it begins with just a single small step.
For some, it may be their first race.
For others, it may be a chance to meet someone new.
And for others, simply running side by side
can be a small act of peace.

Today is the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” God the Father, the source of all wisdom, laid the foundation of our faith through the humble profession of the Apostle Peter. Let us praise God, who enlightens all people with the Holy Spirit, so that they may recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of the living God and become living stones in the building up of His Church.

🌍 WYD Minute is back! On August 8–9, 2026 Vocational Fair took over Deoksugung stone-wall road in Seoul.

The event gave us a taste of some of the programs coming to World Youth Day, while also giving us a chance to prepare for them in advance. With Seoul’s summer heat in full force, it was also a valuable opportunity to see what we need to prepare for to keep everything running smoothly during WYD. ☀️💪

Today is the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Let us follow the example of the Canaanite woman, whose humble faith led her to seek the Lord’s mercy. God fulfilled His plan of salvation through the humility of His Son, who humbled Himself completely. With humble hearts, let us continually bear witness through our words and actions to the Father’s unchanging love.

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.”
— St. Teresa of Calcutta

A decade of the Rosary, even a single Hail Mary, may seem like just a drop of water. But when hearts around the world unite in prayer, those drops can become a vast ocean of grace.

On Solemnity of the Assumption, we look back with gratitude on the journey of prayer we have shared, seeking the Blessed Virgin Mary’s intercession for WYD Seoul 2027.

Let us continue to unite our hearts in prayer, that WYD Seoul 2027 may unfold according to God’s will and that participants may deeply experience His love and recognize His call!

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. God has taken the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of His Son, into heavenly glory. Rejoicing in the God who looked with favor on the lowliness of His servant, let us praise Him for giving us hope through the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the most blessed among women.

Today is the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Lord God Almighty rules over all creation and strengthens our faith. Like the disciples who were tossed by the waves on the lake, let us pray that we may recognize the Lord who is present in our lives and throughout history, stand firm in every trial, and share with Christ in the peace our Heavenly Father gives us.
