Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen WE HAVE A POPE!!!! How amazing and wonderful is that! God has given us a leader, a protector, a shepherd! And what a wonderful one he will be, I feel it!  I feel so thankful that the Lord would bless us with such a man!  He seems just the right guy for the job. O Lord, we are the millions of believers, humbly kneeling at Your feet and begging You to preserve, defend and save the Sovereign Pontiff  for many years.

O God, eternal shepherd, who govern your flock with unfailing care, grant in your boundless fatherly love a pastor for your Church who will please you by his holiness and to us show watchful care.

(I meant to post this on the 28th but blog-spot wouldn't let me so it's a bit late) I'm a bit down today. The chair of St. Peter is once again empty.  It feels like he's been Pope forever, but in reality its only been 8 years.  Yet, in that time, he's done so much! Here's two video's on his papacy. We will miss you Papa. We will pray for you and for a new Pope who will continue to guide us towards Christ.
