Today we celebrate the feast day of the Chair of St. Peter as the Pope is finishing his spiritual retreat. This feast day commemorates the gift that Christ has given to Peter as the man on which He, Our Lord, would build his Church. The popes have continued this legacy.
I had the opportunity to visit St. Peter's basilica early this morning. It was a great experience because I was able to see so many pilgrims coming to pray. There were so many masses being celebrate in so many different altars. As the main article today on the Pope in the Italian bishops' newspaper says, a general reaction to the Pope's decision that was originally surprise and shock has by now turned into support and prayer.
