Hope came to America this past week.The Successor of Peter brought the Gospel of Life along with him on his Apostolic Visit to the United States. Hope is real. Hope is attainable. Hope has a name.
Jesus Christ was in the public eye and how often does that happen? At the White House. At the United Nations. At "Ground Zero." And at two baseball stadiums.
How many of our brothers and sisters realize that there is an end to the despair? That there is hope?
You may have read a lot of the headlines about "Pope Benedict XVI." Well, take the name away and replace it with who TRULY was at all of these places, because Jesus Christ took center stage in America since Tuesday. I have never seen the amount of coverage Our Lord has gotten and all with the absence of separation of Church and State remarks. Like St. Paul before us, Jesus Christ was proclaimed to the Gentiles.
"It is God who saves us; he saves the world and all of history. ... I am coming, sent by Jesus Christ, to bring you his word of life."
And I got this message in persona.
His blessing on us all.
The entrance of the "Pope Mobile!"
His blessing on us all.
