[Knitting A Conundrum]

I have vague memories of watching Pope John's funeral and the installation of Pope Paul. I was rather young, and not catholic at that time...but as a kid news junkie, I knew it was important.

Makes me feel old and sad...I had had a feeling for months that Terri would die, and the pope would follow shortly...but I didn't expect it would be this close together.

And, recall the recent passing of Sister Lucia of Fatima.

I have memories of this Pope - and his predecessor - being inaugurated? (sorry don't know the correct term for the ceremony).

Seem to recall the inductee being carried in a chair amid a sea of people - some of them extremely close to the Pope.

Prayers for the safety of all concerned.
