The ides of March

15 March 2013

We have a potent new Pope.  I've been reading is homilies and talks every day so far.  They are good.  You can find everything on www.vatican.va.  Here is a brief word from Pope Francis today:

“Courage, dear brothers! Probably half of us are in our old age. Old age, they say, is the seat of wisdom. The old ones have the wisdom that they have earned from walking through life. Like old Simeon and Anna at the temple whose wisdom allowed them to recognize Jesus. Let us give with wisdom to the youth: like good wine that improves with age, let us give the youth the wisdom of our lives.”

His inaugural Mass will be on Tuesday, Feast of St. Joseph spouse of Mary.  It looks like I'm going to get to be one of the priests who will distribute Communion for Pope Francis for his first public Mass as Pope.  God never ceases to bless.
