Mass at St Peter’s Basilica would be amazing at anytime. The three hours we spent in the presence of Pope Benedict this morning was absolutely overwhelming, beautiful and unforgettable. I am still in shock I think – the Mass was an Ordination Mass so to see the whole thing is something that will stay with us forever.
We got there so early we ended up in the 21st pew (!!!!!!) and on the aisle. I took a lot of photos that have to wait until we get home to share but Bill snapped this wonderful photo of our Holy Father in the recessional.
I still can’t believe it and have so much to process from the whole morning… but I just wanted to share the photo.
