It will be a let down for me when he leaves the US tomorrow as I have followed much of his visit and am captivated by his speeches and his very presence.

What a blessing to have this holy man join us for the past few days! No need to be diconsolate once he is gone. Here is the library of ALL his writings - homiletics, encyclicals, speeches, etc. Immerse yourself in these deep waters anytime you feel the need to take a dip :-)

Benedict XVI

His words HAVE COURAGE which puncuated this speech were the loudest I have heard him speak thus far.

He was electrifying! Did you see the faces of the seminarians as they soaked this up? They were totally radiant! This was the longest speech he delivered on this trip! And, IMHO, the best.

I know the Pope has given not only the younger people much to contemplate, but those of any age as well.

EWTN will conserve everything he spoke throughout his visit to the US. You can go to their web site whenever you need a 'fix' ;-)

PAPAL VISIT

I was touched by the seminarian of 3 years of study who wrote the article about how in a previous job he was going to start on 9/11 and how his near brush with death made him realized that God was calling him to the priesthood.
