Hey All—
Well it’s finally here---Pope Benedict’s trip to the US begins tomorrow. It’s pretty amazing---only the 3rd pope to have visited the US. President Bush is even going all out—he’s personally picking the Pope up at the airport—during his 7 years as president, he’s never done that. In fact, a reporter at EWTN asked President Bush what he sees when he looks into the Pope’s eyes…the president’s response? “God.” Think the president respects the Pope?! Wow.
This trip will be Pope Benedict’s 7th international trip in the 3 years he’s been head of the Church. For some perspective, imagine your grandparents, at age 80 traveling around the world—and then giving speeches to thousands of people. That’s what he’ll be doing. I don’t know many, if any, 80 yr olds who could do that. Keep him in your prayers! Indeed, we are blessed to have him as our shepherd.
If you want to follow along every step of the way here’s some internet resources:
http://www.uspapalvisit.org/ –the official site of the US Bishops.
http://www.ewtn.com/ will have live continuing coverage.
-You can also watch EWTN on local channel 19 for live coverage.
Relevant Radio—93.9 and 92.9 will have regular updates on his visit as well.
==================================================Intentions:
-For Pope Benedict’s trip to the United States.
-For the young people from our area and diocese (38 of them) traveling to see the Pope.
-For a friend’s father—who has scarring on the lungs and whose cardiologist has just given him a month or two to live.
-For the intentions each of you have…..we pray to the Lord. Lord hear our prayer.
