The pontiff gave Catholics four news saints Sunday, bestowing the honor on a 19th century nun who struggled in the American frontier, a bishop who tended to the wounded during the Mexican Revolution, an Italian priest who helped the deaf, and an Italian nun who pushed for public school education for girls.

The gospel was chanted first in Latin, then in Greek. The Vatican choir has been studying Greek and chanted the response. Pope Benedict XVI then blessed all assembled with the Greek Book of the Gospels. A beautiful ceremony under a magnificently blue sky!

I have just returned from a youth Mass in St. Theodora Guerin's honor at the Church of the Immaculate Conception at St. Mary-of-the-Woods. Very Nice to see 500 teenagers from the archdiocese of Indianapolis.
