Let Us Surround Him With Love and Prayers

And indeed WE DO!
I bet the New York Times and all the Pope's detractors were 'shocked' - and most likely enraged - that all the crowds for the Holy Father have not abated despite their dirty tricks.... The show of enthusiasm from the crowds has been amazing - from the Wednesday GA to yesterday's Mass and Urbi et Orbi. For tens of thousands to stand there in St. Peter's Square for hours, through mostly rain and eventual sunshine, is the sort of testament to Catholic faith that seculars miss seeing.
Anyway, Welcome to the Forum, Marie Therese! (My own first name is Maria-Teresa, which I always write with a hyphen, especially needed in the USA, where they tend to drop the second part - with the result that thousands of girls and women from Hispanic countries and the Philippines who have Maria 'prefixed' to their name end up being called Maria by everyone!)
I hope you can register soon.
MARIA-TERESA
