#angelus

Rome is preparing today, already from early in the morning, for Pope Benedict's last public Angelus from the window of his personal study. The city is expecting a record number of more than 200.000 persons on St. Peter's Square who for about fifteen minutes will pray this Marian prayer together with the Pope. The weather forecast was predicting rain but at this time, three hours before the Angelus, the sun has just come out and is shiny. This is the first one of the various unique events that we will live this coming week. I will be present at the last public audience on Wednesday as my University has cancelled classes to allow the students to be present. In the following days this blog will continue its mission to bring to you the inspiring moments that will be taking place during this most unique week in Church history. Y'all have a blessed Sunday!

ps- it's incredible to think that today we have our last Sunday masses in which we will name Benedict XVI in the Eucharistic prayer.
