POPE FRANCIS CELEBRATED THE CLOSING MASS OF MY SABBATICAL!

View the Mass by PRESSING HERE! The Bones of St. Peter were on display at Mass and Pope Francis held them at the chanting of the Credo. The chanting was wonderful including the propers!

It was marvelous to concelebrate Mass today with Pope Francis, a fitting end to my sabbatical. I also saw two of my heroes Msgr. Guido Marini and Archbishop Georg Ganswein up close and personal, and I shook Archbishop Ganswein's hand and said I was from Georgia, he America! Please note the straight line Benedictine altar arrangement!
