Hello to all my blog friends! Well it has been a busy day in Rome.
Father Chris O'Connor from the Archdiocese of Boston is
leading a pilgrimage through Poland and Rome.
I had the chance to briefly catch up with them in St. Peter's square and
they are a wonderful group.
After meeting with the pilgrims from Boston,
Tim and I were off to the NAC. We found out that the Cardinals had decided
to halt all press conferences so the 2:30 taping was out. That however did not slow us down.
Thanks to Msgr. Burrill we were able to
interview 4 seminarians and a priest who were from different dioceses across the
country. What a group of outstanding
young men. I couldn't help but think
that these are the future leaders of the Church. If that is the case we are in good
hands! Watch for a special with these
men soon on the CatholicTV Network.
From
the NAC, Tim and I went to St.Peter's for the prayer service. I told a person from ABC News that Father
Reed was supplying commentary for CatholicTV.
I met Terry Donilon and Greg Tracy, and also Angela Flood from the
Archdiocese of Washington there by happenstance.
It was a beautiful service and I was struck when I saw 2 nuns kneeling on the stone floor. There was a great crowd all participating in the service. Another wonderful day in the very rainy city of Rome. That is right-- it's pouring, and without an umbrella I am now a soaking mess. Time to dry off.
