On The Road Again

Today we'll be heading back home. We will see how much stuff we can stuff into our heavily- laden '92 Plymouth Acclaim. I was pretty impressed that we were able to live out of a cars' worth of junk for three months. As the miles slip by and the Ave's are mumbled through the sorrowful mysteries I'll be praying for Pope John Paul II, in critical condition this morning. He has born his Cross well through the Nazi occupation of Poland, Communist Russia's occupation of Poland, a near fatal assasination attempt, and now Parkinson's. Just started Theology of the Body a few days ago, can't really sum it up beyond "very good". May the Peace of Christ comfort him these last few days or hours. As to the next Abba, no one knows. They say "he who walks into the Conclave a Pope will leave as a Cardinal". In these dark days we need another shining light to lead the Church. St. Peter, pray for us, St. Gregory the Great, pray for us. St. Leo the Great, pray for us St. Innocent III, pray for us, St. Pius X, pray for us, All holy Apostles, Martyrs, and Doctors pray for us.
