PRAYER FOR THE HOLY FATHER'S PILGRIMAGE
Lord Jesus, history has always had in the Successor of Peter a guide and a pastor who has shown the way to fulfilling the will of the God the Father.
We entrust to you these months of preparation for the visit of our Pope Benedict. Give us your Holy Spirit that we might know how to prepare ourselves in prayer so that this visit may be a time of renewal and particular grace for the Holy Land.
This thread consolidates all the reports on the Pope's Holy Land pilgrimage from the time he announced the trip last March.[Modificato da TERESA BENEDETTA 16/05/2009 22:55] |
