The Holy Father is on his way to St. Mary Major. The streets are LINED with people...I'm noticing lots and lots of young people, smiling, excited. His homily was interrupted a few times with applause.

Just turned the TV off a few minutes ago. The Mass at St John Laterans' Basilica and the prayers in St Mary Major were absolutely magnificent! I'm looking forward to getting a copy of that wonderful homily,sometime this eveing,I guess and chew on it.There was so much meat to it.So simple and yet elegant that even someone as simple-minded as I am can understand him. I might even watch the encore this evening(4:00p.m.pacific).
Let's all remember to pray for this dear man that the "wolves" will not get him. The Church - and the WORLD - needs his humble and beautiful witness. When he mentioned wolves at the installation Mass, it sent chills down my spine.
Thank you for the wonderful post! I was able to watch the entire Mass on EWTN and it was truly beautiful!
