The Holy Father

So by Easter we will have a new Holy Father. I am saddened that we are losing such a great man as the  Vicar of Christ, but I know his decision is made with love, for as the "servant of servants", he has our best interest always in mind. As someone posted on my Facebook Wall:   I think, in part, that he's making sure that there will be a Pope to see and hear when you go to Brazil this summer." 

That's a beautiful thought, and I believe it. 

Although we will most likely see another pontiff in Rio, we will always pray for Pope Benedict's health and will dedicate the remainder of February to praying for his intentions and for his mission while he is still the Bishop of Rome. Viva il Papa!
