Pope Benedict XVI, during his trip to the United States, asked us to pray for a new Pentecost. The last Pope who asked us to pray for "a new Pentecost in our time" was Pope John XXIII, when the Church was preparing for the Second Vatican Council. We prayed and we got our Pentecost. Maybe Pope Benedict and we should be more careful about what we pray for. |

The major event of last week was the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States. Through the miracle of delayed television, I was able to view the EWTN broadcasts at odd hours. Since I was in Rome when this Pope was elected, saw him come out on the balcony of St. Peter’s, and attended his installation Mass, looking down from Bernini’s grand colonnade in St. Peter’s Square, not to mention his ethnic background, I feel a special connection with him. Even the mainstream media paid selective attention. To get a more complete picture, read the texts of his homilies and other statements available on the internet. |
