Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts...

Pope Francis addressing hundreds at the Sunday Angelus, including a girl with a very pink jacket.
We took a stroll to St. Peter's Square to listen to and pray with Pope Francis.  He informed the faithful that he will be taking a trip to the Holy Land in May.  According to the Vatican News Agency, he also said that "Jesus does not give up on us and never ceases to offer himself and his grace that saves us." As men about to be ordained priests, this is precisely the Good News that we look forward to sharing with everyone we encounter. I had to quote the Vatican News Agency because Pope Francis was speaking in Italian. "Thank you" seems to be the only phrase I understand.  Some of my classmates are in the same situation as me.  Other guys are picking up the language rather quickly.

(For the reader's information, I, Dcn. Blake Rozier, will be alternating blog posts every other day with Dcn. Grant Gerlach.  There may be a few occasions where we have a guest blogger.  Let us know if you have any questions.  Grazie!)
