Pope going right by me.
What a day. Please check acottagebythesea.net to read about my experience seeing Pope Benedict XV! and participating in the Mass of Pentecost at St. Peter’s Square.
Everything was very orderly and caring. TV monitors and loudspeakers were working, etc. But what was most satisfying was how the Mass was definitely celebrated for the people, for all the thousands gathered to participate. Particularly, I was impressed, and surprised, that communion was available to everyone. Priests circulated at the end of the rows and people went up. So did I, figuring that God was fine with it, and the Pope too busy to know.
