Thank you Paulo Coelho for everything. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet you again and all the wonderful Warriors of the Light. Thank you for giving me the happiness of being so near to .. Heaven: the Organ and MUSIC!
The party is continuing for me and the spirit is in me. Spring is already in Cyprus; Nature is blooming and makes me think that we should never allow CLOUDS darken our thoughts and lives. THE SUN of our LOVE is in us. May we will always spread our passion, enthusiasm, joy and love for life to everybody around us and remember and keep your PARADIGM. Our natural home is Paradise and our true self is the Light.
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
p.s. I have just remembered my dream that I had seen at the time of … the dreams in the Blog. I had seen that I was .. dancing with Paulo Coelho and … ‘spiraling’ into Heaven! Now that I am thinking of it, it must have been the .. spiral stairs leading to heaven, the Organ of Melk Abbey and Music. The feeling was the same! T.xxx
I love this sentence so much:
“Our natural home is Paradise and our true self is the Light.”
It’s so wonderful true.
Thank you, Thelma!
How beautiful Thelma!!!!! Love to you xo
I just want to say how grateful I am to have been able to attend this wonderful party. Along with everyone else, a huge thank you to Paulo, Christina, your team, the people at the Abby, and our friends who made this all possible. I am still floating on the enlightened energy that filled my body and spirit there.
Thank you to all of those who surrounded me with your love and care… And to those who partied on and danced the night away.. I love you :-)
Paulo, you are an amazing Magus with your ways of getting all of the “common” spirits together. I thought I might be able to find a soulmate at this party; instead, I was joyfully greeted by many. Thank you for uniting us. :-)
Have you felt the loving warmth in your shoulders and upper back?
Love and warm blue light to you all,
Lainee
Words aren’t just enough to express all what I felt in my heart because of everybody there.
I felt like I was dreaming all the time, while sharing all the love and joy. It was so great to meat you fantastic bunch of crazy ladies. It was even greater than I thought. It was wonderful that I could hug you all.
I was sop exited and happy, I just hope I didn’t struggle anybody while hugging. heheheheh Promise I won’t do it again. heheh
For me the party lasted all the days I spent there and not only the Friday night. I was surrounded by so many young people in spirit.
I just wanted to enjoy every moment like it was the last, I didn’t wanted to miss anything because you never know…
I am so happy that anybody tied me up to a chair as I was asking for. hahahaha
I am sorry for the ones we woke up during the night because of the laughter, but maybe it would have been better to have a pajama party together. heheeh
I had a great friend next to me and I am so happy that we shared so much together. The Spirit made me a great present.
Being in the midst of all of you made my heart so happy, and even though the time to spend it wasn’t enough I am happy for what we had.
Thanks to all of the great dancers of the party I had a great time dancing with you. I miss you energy, joy and love, and I love you.
Thank you Paulo for being who and how you are, because only a special spirit can gather around him self so many other special spirits.
Thank you for your attention, care, patience but specially for the love that you give to all of us.
The Love that first only my heart believed, but that when meet you my eyes saw.
A beautiful example to follow. Thank you! <3

Olta Ana
Look!
Olta Anna made it with all her positive energy, the hearts swamp the page :o)
wow. this picture really fits to your comment
hehehe!
The minute I arrived on the grounds of Austria, I must say I felt as if I was at home. And this feeling did not change during my stay. I have never felt this intense feeling of love and being loved & being so comfortable at a party before.
The athmosphere was amazing – so many nice people in that room, all together, as a big family, indeed, and this is also what I told Paulo.
I am thankful to have had the opportunity to be there. Even though I actually were a bit ill (I had a bit of a cold and weren’t 100% healthy – but apparently, I was not the only one ;)- ) at the party I had already forgotten all about it.
~*~*~*~
I must share something amazing with You.
Dear Paulo & dear WOL friends,
About half a year ago I had a dream with some mental pictures and sights of a building, a square ground with a fountain in the middle of it. And also statues on the walls (faces, looking at me – at least I got that feeling when I saw it in the dream). Also I saw that I was walking around some place & having a dinner with friends who had young hearts, sitting behind tables with white table-cloth and enjoying the time.
And this (square with a fountain in the middle) what I saw in my dream was this: http://www.twitpic.com/1agsjb … yes. The Melk Abbey. But I did not know, that it was Melk Abbey, until I actually walked there by my own feet and saw this view – on 19th of March. I have never even been to Austria before in my life, but the image I had in my dream was the same thing which I saw with my own eyes when we entered the gates of the goregous Abbey. Only then, when actually looking at the square (Prälatenhof/Prelate’s Courtyard), did I get the flashback of my dream seeing the same sight! But I did not comprehend that sign.
For a minute, we stood there, with some of us WOLs from PCB and took pictures. Then we joined the crowd in the beautiful church where Paulo had a dialogue with Abboth Burkhard. We sat there, listening to the dialogue, and Paulo was saying something about ‘being in the moment’ and forgetting about past and not worrying about the future but concentrating to the ‘right now’, and suddenly I felt an immense mixture of feelings of gratitude, happiness and love. I knew my sign was right and this was the place I was supposed to be. At that moment, this place was my home. And I started to cry, and the tears would run down my cheeks, but as You understand these were the tears of joy and thankfulness, not of sadness.
I understood, that this was supposed to happen.
~*~*~*~
My life is rich for I have met so many nice people in such a short period of time. At these moments You understand even more than usually, that age, cultural or individual differences, sex, weight or hight or any differences (between people) do not matter – if there is love ignited in, and around us, that is all we need.
Thank You Paulo, Christina, and Your wonderful team and everyone who helped You with organising, and thanks to all the people who were able to arrive (all WOLs), but also to those who weren’t, but who in their thoughts were there. I could feel it.
This was the best birthday ever!
Love You so much!
Hugs and kisses,
Liina
cool!
thanks for telling us the dream :o)
sounds like You on Your way, Liina :-)))
I so appreciate your sharing,
thank You & everyone,
Love & Blessings
A beautiful dream Liina…took a picture of the fountain yesterday…the water was trickling, and glistening in the sunlight. I will post it later in Facebook and you can see! Lots of Love and Happy, happy Birthday!!
Jane : ) xo
I’m so glad for you all!
I’ve prayed with you that night, (I’ll tell you how), and I hope our prayer will spread all over the world.
That day I had a gift from God.
I was thinking about Paulo’s party, coming home from my job, and my “little voice” (or my intuition, call it as you want), told me to go to a shop of used articles (en fraçais “vide grenier”).
I entred and visited it, wondering inside why did I do such an unsusual thing.
Before leaving, I understood and smiled.
In a corner of the shop, in the place “special offers”, there was an old printing representing “Santiago matamoros” Protector of Spain.
It was the figure that is often described in The Pilgrimage my favourite book.
My son’s name is James.
So I bought and brought it home.
That evening I said my prayer with you, facing the image of my “favourite Virgin” (the Virgin of Fontanellato -Italy) and the image of Santiago.
And I was smiling for that.
Now that picture is in my house, and I’ll let it to my son.
The “peculiar thing”, is that where I live you can often find holy images of The virgin, Saint Francis, Saint Antony from Padua etc., but is really rare to find the image of Santiago Protector of Spain.
Miracle happens where and when you need them.
Love
Chris
what a beautiful experience Christina, I enjoyed reading about it. Sometimes I forget about the miracles that happen around the world and I get busy with wordly things, your experience brings me back to God’s realm.
Love
Monica
Beautiful, thank You so much for sharing this!
Dear Chris, how lovely! Thank you for praying with us – the energy in that room was so intensely blissful!
And you found an image of Santiago too!
Tonight I went to Facebook briefly, and sent a message to grandson ‘Bean’…whose name is Liam James! His daddy’s name is Chris. And The Alchemist is my favorite story (Santiago).
I agree, miracle happens where and when we need them. Love and Blessings, Jane : )
I looked up at the moon last night on my way back from Vienna and saw that it had grown so much since the night of the party.
Time moves quickly, but the joy shared at the party remains in my heart forever.
Thank you everyone.
Por las imagenes y las palabras uno es participe de la celebracion, mil gracias a todos los presentes por complartir en diferentes maneras lo sucedido y en especial a los organizadores, Paulo y Christina por hacer esto posible, ojala que en algun momento me toque vivirlo el carne propia.
Cant help to add again that in Melk I felt I am in a dream…
Another world, better, nicer than the one I came from.
And dream came true, I met my loved author, a wonderful person, generous with a great kind heart.
God bless you dear Paulo
I can tell you are still in a dream dear Alexandra, may the dream remain in your heart for the rest of eternity!!!
Love
Monica
…and in Norwegian it would be;
Hellige sankt Josef, be for us!
Holy saint Joseph, pray for us!
Thank you Paulo and Cristina for inviting us, and getting so many of us together for such a blessed event and party.
I love you all,
Heart
St Joseph’s Day at Melk Abbey
http://keithpp.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/st-josephs-day-at-melk-abbey/
I appreciated that moment … and I take that opportunity here, since it relates to the party, to tell you that the host was very generous, and that you, as a host, was also very generous. I appreciated all the attention that you put towards me (me being us) … and I touched how you were very attentive and present when I embarked on that shuttle that was waiting there. When I saw it, I told to myself … “that man went in deep in that attention” … so, thank you very much Paolo and all of your team who followed the leader. Love, Jojo.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Linda homenagem! Obrigado Paulo…
Transcrevo aqui a ti meu pai São José, meus sinceros sentimentos de amor e agradecimentos por tudo. Seus cuidados, amor, proteção, dedicação e ensinamentos expressam seu amor eterno tocando a alma de todos os que olham a tua luz.
Ao recorrer a ti tenho um pai de braços abertos a me receber, tua compaixão e esperança (nesse torto que vos fala – risos) me elevou as alturas e hoje vivo a bem-aventurança por tuas graças. Obrigado por me escolher, erguer e amar incondicionalmente. O Senhor me inspira a ser um pai, filho e marido melhor. Parabéns São José!
Com amor,
Diogo Guedes
To see the video of the prayers and read all your reports of this night, reminds me of similar events in my past and brings back to me the same feelings of joy and union. Thanks to all of you.
You are blessed and I know you all will live a long time on these experiences.
May God be with you.
I have a question. it may sound weird. but I was raised protestant & did not hear much about saints.
1. what do saints represent in catholic religion?
2. does everybody has the saint from the day on which one is born? or, can one choose?
when I heard the prayers it appeared to me as if they characterize a specific spirit of love & nurturing that is represented by Joseph, the person & his story; and at the same time, I wondered whether each of us has those same qualities in us.
Then the closure prayer by Brother Martin was like the most succinct description of how I perceive this blog, and also what Paulo writes again & again: the uniqueness & specialty each human has :o)
giggle….
it is so enjoyable to read all your “reports”. thanks a lot!
it feels like getting served a good dessert over and over again!
great that you all had so much fun.
may love be the answear to our payers
may peace be the bridge that connects us
may the world accept our differences and respect our ways so we may connect each day as we gather our thoughts through this web and love one another for who we are not for who we wish could beand love despite our beliefs….i am a catholic but it doesnt mean i dont love my neighboor for being jewish….
dust we were and dust we will be
practice to be humble even if you are great
learn from wisdom and speak with knowledge
love beyond meassures and dream….even if your dreams dont take you past your computer for without dreaming we are nothing but living dust…cuqui
Watching the video of this “prayer event” in Melk makes me yearn to go to this abbey and say my own prayer too, one day – soon.
Listening to all those prayers said in different tongues (and speed – he!he!he!)is like being in a room filled with diplomats from all over the world.
Yes, that night, with Paolo and Christina, you – the “very lucky chosen few” became our prayer warriors.
I guess St. Joseph had a great time too.
Good job everyone! God be with you.
Olá pessoal, sou a autora desse video que treme :D Infelizmente viagei com uma pequena mala de mão e no aeroporto de Nice no controle eles não deixaram embarcar o meu tripé, aí já viu né, um copo de vinho aqui, outro alí, foi um milagre tremer só no início rsrsrs. Beijão pra todos.
Querido Paulo
Foi uma noite inesquecível, daquelas que será lembrada com saudade, uma emoção enorme estar com vocês, orar todos juntos, dançar todos juntos, cantar todos juntos, jantar todos juntos… a vida de todo mundo deveria ser cheia desses momentos. Temos que reunir mais nossos amigos em casa, orar juntos, rir juntos e passar bons momentos.
Parabéns pela perfeita organização beijo no coração.
Thank you Paulo…had you not written books, none of us would have met. Thousands of connections all over the world. Happy Birthday, Happy St Joseph’s Day 2010! Dear god thank you for Paulo’s life and love and for the Gift of Friendship.
Going to continue to pray each night at the set time of 8:30, no matter where in the world I am!
Love, Gratitude and Blessings to every one,
Jane : )
It was really inspiring to see that Paulo Coelho started his party with this lovely prayer to St. Joseph.
Some of us were not able to attend owing to one reason or another, so it has been wonderful to hear all the comments describing everything. I can feel how much warmth, love and joy was there, and it’s obvious that it was an enriching experience for everyone. Thank you also , to all who are sharing their photos and videos. They are full of beautiful views and happy faces!
God bless you all…
Theresa but we kept each other company in FB, had a good quiet time admiring the beauty around us…LOL
big hugs your way
Monica
How wonderful it was this year. I really felt we have all become one big family. VIVA St. Joseph! VIVA Paulo!!!
Love to all,
Romina
Hope Brother Martin won’t object to me translating his prayer into English for all those who don’t speak German:
“St. Joseph, I too ask you, the family father, send down your blessings on this family, Paulo’s family.
“You have allowed the son Jesus to grow in the family and have offered him an atmosphere in which he was able to become a unique human.
“Give us, too, the blessings so that we understand that we’re unique humans, that there never was anybody like us before, and that there will not be somebody just like us after ourselves.
“We’re now together and thank you, give us your blessings, St.Joseph. Amen.”
GREAT! I WAS WONDERING WHAT DID HE SAY. THANKS FOR THE TRANSLATION.

Love ya,
Lainee
Had the incredible luck and honour to be there. I had no idea what was going to happen when all the people came onto the scene. Next moment I heard myself praying loudly together with all of Paulo’s friends in Portuguese, a language I don’t speak at all. A truly moving 10 minutes, not only the first 43 seconds :)
i wonder and if i must ask Paulo Coelho has your faith come to exist since you could live your dreams as a writter becoming the biggest of our times.Do you believe it was that hiden faith inside you that was somehow dust that was covering who you wanted to be the same dust that was covering your soul and your life ?i envision that somewhere there was doubts of god and today god speaks through your books and that inner voice that we all have by the same power that u let go of an old self to become this inspiring writter that toutches the minds ;the heart and the soul of so many.Do you atribute your success to god? do you atribute your suaccess to yourself? where do you feel is gods hand that paints your canvas and where you feel is your choosing and destiny? when you let your soul quide your thoughts and the coming back to faith that made it all possible?i ask because we loose faith at times and we feel helpless and meaningless but when we have faith we attract even more by the posittive aura and our inner peace and our desire to thrirst more of god.we look for peacefull places and we involve ourselves …i see that you travel and you are privelege to do so and in every part of the world even through the window you must often sit by …..the view inspires your soul…people stories captivate you but does faith is the major power behind who you really are and if so would you have known it if you never became this big writter?do you ever wonder…do you ever wonder?is that why also you play a big role in the lives of children?you are also changing destinies and where do you believe God wants you to be?in the internet …everywhere???from such a simple carpinter comes this great impire ..also why do you wear black?porque voce leva un luto por dentro?porque?when are you gonna leave the black color where or what do you need to do so??????????????????xxxoooocuqui
Why should he leave the black?He looks good in them…
But now seriously…I feel that while being in his own wonder and search, came across something magical and felt compelled to share it so generously with the world…how could it be differently then but be succesful in such a noble endevoir…set and empowerd by love itself…and how could it then be any less, than be able to change and impact peoples life for the better…
Je suis désolé de ne pas avoir pu être à tes cotés cette année. J’aurai bien eu besoin de cette bénédiction vu mes soucis de santé zen ce moment.
Je t’embrasse mon ami
J’espere que tes soucis de sante vont se dissiper.
Bon courage!
:)
Marie-Christine
it was the best party i have ever been to :) i had the most fun – but i also learned many things about myself… Everyone there was wonderful and i am so glad to have met most of you & those i remember!! kudos to Paulo, Christina and Juliana.. bravo for such a wonderful night. I have been blessed to have met such wonderful WOLs (you know who you are)
It was a wonderful evening in a great place with lovable people! Thank you!
lol wol Monika
Amazing event, thank you mister Paulo Coelho.
I was proud to hear there a prayer in my language too, even if it was not to Saint Joseph, but Our Father…
there might not be in Romanian a prayer to Saint Joseph?
Hugs and lot of love
Alexandra
There must be a Romanian prayer, but I guess it was a bit improvised :) Didn’t make the event a bit less worthy though.
I am so happy to be back in this Blog, even though now it feels a bit different because now I know their faces and how they really are in the real life.
I just have no words to describe how I felt but it was wonderful to be in such a blessed place in midst of such great people with love…
Thank you Paulo for that event and opportunity! It was an unforgettable experience! Thank you for your kindness and patience. You are such a great soul!
Thank you for your advice, now I learned how to do it.
I am so happy I could give to all of you a big hug!
Much Love
Olta
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
hermoso Olta..me alegro por vos y todos los que disfrutaron esa experiencia..Que bueno…besos
About the prayer, I loved it. I couldn’t understand all the prayers because I don’t know all those languages, but I liked it most in Portuguese, and i am not saying that because of the language. heheh
My Olta!!! Now, each time I’ll see you here, it will put a big, big smile on my face, because you, like nobody else, were just enjoying the party and life so much. You were like flying on and off the dancing floor, in your gorgeous turquoise velvet, feathery dress! I ADORED to meet you.
Love you bunches crazy lady!
Heart
Kisses
Maybe on this great day you can spend more time to think of what you have said to me. My entire life has One column after God: Connection between my miracle and you.
Answer me on this great day. Just answer me.
I really enjoyed the prayer, it was beautiful and loving for so many nationalities were united by the power of God and prayer!!! Thank your for sharing Paulo
Love
Monica
Paulo, en este momento estoy esperando mi ultimo vuelo para regresar a Mexico despues de esta gran experiencia, mi corazon esta feliz!

Gracias por invitarme.
Gracias Paulo porque he conocido gente maravillosa por ti.
Sigues estando presente en mi vida.

can we get translations of the other prayers?
Oi Paulo, sinceramente não sei se o Sr. vai ler meu comentário, mas, eu gostaria de lhe parabenizar pela sua escrita, tem sido um deleite para mim ler seus livros parabéns pelo seu Dom, seus livros tem sido pra mim um espécie de sustância a mais pra não desistir dos meus planos, sonhos
Boa Noite
How many countries? Interestingly as a foreigner perceives Russian…) And when began to look and listen, thought : ” interestingly and on Russian will it be?” ))
The world is single (united): “All of us live for one, only go different ways… at each this way it and it is unique. Sometimes on me light condescends and it seems to me, that I see what and live for what….”
=..)
Você me emociona!!! Não pude ir tão longe para te encontrar, mas fiquei em oração aqui no Brasil. E, como presente dos anjos, passei por Baependi, visitei Nhá Chica, e pensei em ti, enviando boas vibrações.
Beijos no seu coração, sua energia tocou a minha alma no dia 19 inteiro, me fazendo chorar a cada instante…
Obrigada por fazer parte da minha vida!
Abraços muito muito carinhosos.
Da sua amiga,
PATRICIA RUDECK
Patricia te eché de menos espero verte alguna vez. Me has emocionado con lo que cuentas algún día espero conocer Nhá Chica. Un beso
TODOS NECESITAMOS QUE ALGUIEN PIENSE EN NOSOTROS CON CARIÑO, COMPROBAR QUE NUESTRAS IDEAS PUEDEN SER COMPARTIDAS, TOMADAS EN CUENTA, RESPETADAS, QUE NUESTROS PENSAMIENTOS, QUE NUESTRAS PALABRAS LLEGAN A ALGUN CORAZON QUE BUSQUE PAZ.
TODOS NECESITAMOS QUE ALGUIEN PIENSE EN NOSOTROS CON TERNURA, SENTIR SUS MANOS AMIGAS, SUS VERSOS, SUS CARICIAS EN NUESTRA ALMA.
PODER DESCANSAR CERCA DE SUS BRAZOS, MIRAR A SUS OJOS, SONREIR CON SU ALEGRIA, CONSOLARLE Y PROTEGERLE EN LAS DIFICULTADES Y TRISTEZAS.
POR ESO YO SE QUE NECESITO CAMINAR EN TU COMPAÑÍA, A TU LADO, ALIMENTANDOME CON LA MAGIA DE TU AMISTAD, CON LA VIBRACION DE TUS ANHELOS, CON LA LUZ DE TU AMOR.
PORQUE CADA VEZ QUE ME DICES QUE MIS PALABRA TE AYUDAN, TU ME AYUDAS MAS A MI, PUES ME DAS FUERZAS, VITALIDAD PARA SEGUIR LUCHANDO.
PORQUE CADA INSTANTE QUE PIENSO EN TI TE CONOZCO MEJOR, PROFUNDIZO EN TU SER, RECOJO TU ESENCIA, TU FRAGANCIA, ME UNO MAS A TU PERSONA.
PORQUE CADA VEZ QUE PUEDO LLEGAR A TU INTERIOR DESCUBRO LA BELLEZA DE TU ESPIRITU, VEO EN TI UN NUEVO AMANECER Y LA ESPERANZA LLENA MI CORAZON.
PORQUE CADA VEZ QUE UN SUEÑO SE TE HACE REALIDAD EL UNIVERSO SONRIE Y YO YA PUEDO VOLVER A SOÑAR.
Y ASI ABRIR TU IMAGINACION A NUEVOS PAISAJES, A NUEVOS COLORES, A NUEVOS MATICES, DESCUBRIR TU VALOR, TU CORAJE, TU SENSIBILIDAD.
VOLAR CONTIGO MAS ALLA DE LO QUE CONOCEMOS, LEJOS DE LA MONOTONIA DE LO RUTINARIO.
VIVIR INTENSAMENTE SIN MIEDOS, DEJANDO ATRÁS LAS MEMORIAS QUE NOS CONDICIONAN, PARA DESCUBRIRNOS COMO “GUERREROS DE LUZ” AFINES EN SINTONIA CON LA VOLUNTAD DEL “PROFUNDO SER” Y CONSEGUIR SER MENSAJEROS DE LA ESPERANZA.
PAZ Y AMOR

The translation of my punjabi prayer:
On this sacred St Joseph’s day, dear God please bless us all with your love.
There is but One all embracing and all powerful Divinity, Who manifests Himself/Herself first in the shape of the sacred word, and then through the whole created Universe
God is the One-in-all and the All-in-one. God is the Eternal Reality. God is the Creator, and has the power of independent self – creation. God permeates the whole creation. God is above all fear, and is free from all thoughts of enmity. God is immortal and can be realised in every created thing.
Amen
Beautiful Priya. Live God, live St. Joseph and live Paulo Coelho.
I was one of the lucky people who were invited to Paulo Coelho’s St. Joseph Party..
When I was chosen to attend the party I felt so happy! Hey, I am go to meet Paulo Coelho a man whom I admired so much..
As the party’s date became closer I had a strange feeling, I was worry of something that I didn’t know what was..
I thought about this feeling and I found the cause..
I knew Paulo through his books, blog and some interviews on TV or Journals and loved his ideas, words and wisdom..
But I never knew him personally..
What kind of person is he really? This was my question my worry! At the end he is a man who knows and is a friend with kings, queens, presidents and many influential people. He is one of the best and most read authors of our modern times..
And yes I was worry to loose him when I meet him..
The moment came and Paulo was around, he was greeting his guests and stopped where I was, he stretched his hand to me and we shook hands. I told him I am Tarek..
He laughed oh Tarek from Vienna and made a joke, Paulo was it a joke ;-)
I got the feeling that this man knew me and I knew him since long time! I was overwhelmed how human this man is how simple, humble and most importantly how much he appreciate his friends (even if they were “only” blog friends). This feelings was shared with all the friends who attended the party and whom I spoke to..
So, I here I am now, I know Paulo Coelho the person and I can say that my admiration to him is much much more than it was before I met him personally.. Thank you Paulo for every thing!!
One last thing I would like to thank Paulo for! Before the Party I knew lots of people through Paulo Coelho’s blog! For me they were people in the internet whom I shared with them ideas..
I met lots of these people in the party and from these internet bloggers I have now FRIENDS with all what this word means.. I can even say, I have the feeling that many of them became as close to me as the members of my near family…
Thank you Paulo for let me meet all these lovely people.
Greetings from Vienna,
Tarek
Beautifully said Tarek, it was a night full of love and magic.
You are such an amazing guy and it was such a pleasure to meet you. I felt as if we knew each other the moment we met and I will never forget meeting in the Abbey before the talks began and how much we laughed and joked as though we were life long friends! I hope one day we will meet again.
Hi Tarek from Vienna,
I really enjoyed reading your account of the St. Joseph Party, where you had the pleasure to meet Paulo, some of his friends and bloggies.
I do understand your fear of knowing Paulo and realizing he is not the man you imagined for so long… great to know you were not disappointed and that you even like him more than before.
I’m looking forward to the day I can also meet Paulo, and share with him a nice conversation and a great glass of wine.
Thank you Tarkek for sharing your experience.

Gabi
Dear Tarek,
Your enthusiasm fills my spirit with enthusiasm!!! Thank you for sharing the wonders of your experience at the party!!!
Monica
Beautiful Tarek for me was wonderful meet you. Kisses many kisses.
& we had the pleasure to meet this wonderful doctor from Austria, with just the most beautiful personality one can find, who as so many of us, managed to let loose and join in the dancing and festivities of the party. I loved breakfast with you in zurPost the day after, and will always treasure your gentle, smiley face!
Much love to you,
Heart
Beautiful! I was there in Spirit and praying with everyone! Wish I could have been there!
Love to everyone!
Kisses.
Kisses to you Carolena and I hope see you some time.
Día de encuentro y reunión y allí representado el Mundo por cada uno de nosotros pertenecientes a una parte. Hemos construído un todo, un Universo inseparable bajo una misma bandera llamada PAULO COELHO.
Gracias Paulo por darnos esta oportunidad, de estar contigo y encontrarnos todos también, hacer nuevas amistades y todos aquellos que no tenían cara antes que sólo conocía sus palabras me los encuentro en persona.
Magnífico San José tú que haces posible que nos reunamos y haces posibles nuestros sueños a tí te pedimos por el Amor del Mundo, por tu protección y que podamos estar unidos todos aquí para realizar el mejor propósito que hayas elegido para nosotros. Amén
Gracias Paulo por hacer que me enfrente a mis debilidades, por poner a prueba mi valentía, por hacerme saber que muchas veces no es lo que parece y que mejor observar que judgar. Y sobre todo por poner a prueba mi inglés que cada día va mejorando poco a poco, que cometo errores y no me importa porque a cuenta de ello aprendo (Porqué le dije a Ilva Asote que no se sentara allí porque aquél lugar era para los Monkeys en vez de Monk o a Alex cuando le hable del camino de la espada le dije West en vez de wues, ellas se rieron muchísimo y tan sólo por eso merece la pera).
Gracias por todo y por darme la oportunidad de querer a gente de todo el mundo.
UN BESO Y FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS
Rosa, estuvo “cute” lo de los monkeys….pero mas cute la alegria ue les diste a
Ciao Paulo. Grazie. Ciao Rosetta
beautiful.
nice to have had a chance to be part of the praying moment via video :o)
the prayer is nice, thanks paulo.
the last prayer in german was a good closure.
thanks :o)
I agree,it was a nice thought!
Thank you Paulo once again for one of the most amazing nights of my life. A night never to be forgotten. Full of magic and proving that dreams really can come true.
Thank you for providing the prayers in all the languages and for a wonderful celebration of St Joseph’s Day.
Love
Alex
San Giuseppe, padre putativo di Gesù e vero sposo di Maria Vergine, prega per noi, adesso e nell’ora della nostra morte, amen!
by this prayer and this calebration, i do feel that people around the world are connected despite of the different nationalities, jobs and residents. We are really the son and daughters, who live under the same sky…
So many languages… so many voices….
Glorioso San José,
derrama tus bendiciones
en todos los corazones,
por tu hijo amado Jesús
te lo pedimos.
Amen.
Hermoso..yo tambien soy de Argentina..besos..Clarisa
Bendiciones para todos..que San Jose nos proteja..y la virgen de San Nicolas..
To try and give words to the love felt among us as we prayed, and celebrated together, escapes me.
One of the most profound experiences of my life.
Love and Blessings to All, Jane xo
Thank you Alex! Yes, in that night Love and Joy ruled!!!
vos estubiste ahi..Annie..me alegro con el alma..dios escucha…el amor se busca con valentia…te quiero..
Annie, thanks for the quote of Brother Martin. I do know him for quite a few years now and he is a very special man. One could feel how the mood in the room gave him wings. This was above his normal self, could you see him dance with us later?
Hello Annie,
I am glad to hear you have arrived home safe and sound!
Father Martin himself was a great sun, whose friendliness, humor and optimism shone all over the room.
Never stop looking for love!
lol wol Monika
Dear Annie:
I don’t know you personally in real world,
but I missed you and your post so much
during your absence in this blog. :D
Could you share with us your pictures at the party?
Actually, I would like to see the pictures of
all WOL friends(I can’t see them clearly by
video), and Father Martin. :)
I really would like to feel the joy and love of the
precious moment even though I was not there.
Don’t feel pressure at all…
This is just my little suggestion :D
Love
Yoomi
Annie I am happy to see that you arrived safely back home.
Ok it looks the train was the right one and you didn’t sleep and missed the airport station ;-)
love,
Tarek
Annie my Sis I just hope I can come soon one day in Greece so that I will be able to meet you again.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ u
Olta
You were one of the prettiest suns there Annie. :-) Thanks for hanging with us.
Love ya, Lainee
..now we know where you live Tarek. Watch out!
It must have been a beautiful experience what all of you shared…The touwer of Babel crashed with all languages saying, conveying and being undersdood as saying the very same thing…
Father Martin was great. Sister Act got a bit of a problem now!HEE HA!
Thank u beautiful Rosa! So much love and joy in the pictures and videos. Everyone looks so lovely!
Kisses.
Of course, I said I was proud to hear my own language there. Was an honor. I felt I am in a dream realm, and I brought so many sweet memories with me from there. It was much nicer than I could imagine, and Paulo was incredible kind. I was so touched that at time while addressing or beeing near him I forget my words…
We had so much fun, organization was perfect. And Christina was of great elegance, wonderful presence.
Joy is the key word for the party.
Thanks again
Love
Alexandra

Dear Heart it was nice to meet you and to have the nice breakfast together ” after only 1 or two hours sleep ;-) but surprisingly I was not tired as I usually am.

It is most definitely you Tarek that all these comments are about, as you are a special person who has a pure heart and an amazingly funny and joyful sense of humour! I was blessed to have met you and you brought joy and happiness to everyone around you! You have the Warrior of Light shine in your eyes and I am so thankful we met.
