Some impressions left at the end of the 2012 Mariapolis:

“We take home the courage and tools to live and communicate the language of love to everyone we meet.”

“The Mariapolis is ‘total immersion’ in learning the language of love for others!”

“Mariapolis: 450 people with no agenda except loving God in the present moment!”

“I no longer feel alone – I am united with brothers and sisters all over the world who share my dream of universal brotherhood.”

“The experiences of young adults and married couples gave me the push to believe in God’s masterplan for me and my family.”
