All Else Confusion

Pope Benedict XVI touched down at Andrews Air Force Base yesterday afternoon. Here in Virginia everyone is excited - even the country radio station this morning played I Saw God Today by George Strait in honor of the Pope's birthday because "seeing the Pope is the closest we will come to seeing God." Pretty amazing! Here, our Religious Education classes all said prayers for a spiritual bouquet for Pope Benedict's visit and his birthday. They wrote their prayer pledges on flower cut-outs and yesterday I spent the day arranging those paper flowers into a bouquet on our bulletin board. We also documented all the prayer pledges and put them into a letter to Pope Benedict. It was pretty cool seeing "His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, Apostolic Palace, 00120 Vatican City" on the envelope!

Tomorrow, I go to to see the Pope in person at the Mass at Nationals Stadium!!

American Papist as always has great coverage of the Pope and if you have time for some reading check out Benedict in America.
