Apparently, for the last view of the Pope today, the crowd around St. Peter's is huge. Well, we are witnessing daily, historical events beyond our comprehension, and all in the plan of God.
I am travelling today, but, sadly, not to Rome. Some people I know who are new converts are making their way to the Holy City for the first time as Catholics, and will stay into next week.
Many priests are making their way to Rome, and the Cardinals of the world are preparing for their first general consultative meetings.
I briefly watched some news on the television last night. My only comment-thank God for Catholic Internet news............I hope I can get the Net on my phone as I am moving about today.
