The Prayers of Good Shepherd Parish in Rome

Sometimes pictures are worth 1000 words.  Here are a few thousand words from Rome that I thought you might enjoy more than my writing! You were remembered in prayer.

Here I am a with a few pilgrims as the empty Piazza St. Peter is set up for the big Mass for the Closing of the Year for Priests.

This is a view of the Piazza filled with 15,000 priests!

It was hot, but nothing could have kept us away!


Hey, wait. Who’s that coming?

Viv’il Papa! (Long live the Pope)

And Pope Benedict XVI has left the building.
