Finally the day has arrived, and we are halfway through our Supercongress! It has been a fantastic morning so far, and you can really feel the Golden Rule coming alive in everyone. As one of the Teens for Unity said onstage “Together with all of you we would like to show the world, that Unity is possible.”
There were around 2000 people in the congress and at least 250 of those present were Gen 3. The congress opened with a peaceful inter-religious moment and then the MCs took over presenting the various countries through a SHOW of flags followed by choreographies, songs, dances and experiences of the different countries. The Gen from Bombay brought such amazing energy to the event, with enthusiastic renditions of the Supercongress theme song; ‘Follow the Light’ and the bouncy number entitled ‘Reach Out.’ Experiences about preparations to get here to India were also shared; Sam and Eleanor from England spoke of the various sacrifices they had to make just to get here and some Indian girls said how they managed to postpone their exams in order to come. Another particularly moving moment was when Pascal from New Zealand told us about how he met the Focolare, and how he practiced using the Golden Rule. The Gen from USA gave us a spectacularly intricate stomping choreography, and the song ‘Golden Light’ sung by the Teens for Unity from Ireland hit a favorable note with everyone. The contributions of the youth from the Shanti Ashram were a luminous expression of the beauty of this country and each of their words were so much in tune with ours. The message of Maria Emmaus Voce was truly coming alive and taking shape as a reality in the hall – “ Do unto other whatever you would have them do to you…this is the secret that will allow you to find happiness and then bring it to others.” After a short presentation of the gifts of specially designed artistic post cards and stamps to Nadia, Agostino, youth members of the Focolare and dignitaries of India who had made a particular contribution to the event from Vinu of Shanti Ashram, the Congress closed for lunch, and will resume its live link up with The Rest Of The Globe at 4pm Indian time.

Vivek Kadam English-Australia, 15 years old. The Super
congress ceremony Was an amazing one, great to start off such an amazing and unique experience. It was colorful, fun, exciting and really uplifting. From these performances, I really felt how lucky and privileged I was to be here in India. I hope that the afternoon session will be as fun and enjoyable and that I will be able to look back on this as a great experience of my life. I think that now that I have seen how passionate all these people are, I can take that enthusiasm home to Australia, to unite all the Gen 3s who could not make it here.
