Happy Birthday!

Today is our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, birthday!!! How blessed we are to have him in our country on his special day!! If you go to http://www.pope2008.com/ you can get all the latest news and pics from his visit...and you can watch LIVE the EWTN footage of the trip...which I just found out about!!! How exciting....unfortunately I have things like PACKING to do or I would be glued to the computer screen. I also can't believe we arrive at JFK airport 730am Friday and the Pope comes in two hours later!! If I had known months ago that we would be in the same city the same weekend as our Holy Father, I would have tried to get tickets to see him. It looks like he is going to drive down 5th avenue on Saturday to 72nd street (where my sister's apartment used to be) so we may try and see if we can catch a glimpse or a BLESSING from him....amazing man and leader...his words and messages are so powerful!! I believe it was also three years ago today that he found out he was chosen to be the leader of the church...prayers to Pope Benedict on his birthday!!
