You are all blessed to have him there!
The closest he came to us was Washington, D.C. I was in college in San Antonio when Pope John Paul II was there. I’m kind of sorry I didn’t go, now, but I’ve never been comfortable with enormous-crowd events.
Maybe my cousins will go. They’re converts, too. My grandfather was an old Orangeman from Londonderry, and now half his grandchildren and 11/13 of his great-grandchildren are Catholic.
