Fall photo from 2011 -- our leaves have not turned or started falling yet! |
Wow -- what a special day --
Pope Francis visits the U.S. and
we officially say goodbye to summer
and welcome to Fall!
So exciting to have the Holy Father in the United States.
Back when I was very young, I saw Pope John Paul II in Philadelphia in his
Pope-mobile riding around in downtown Philadelphia.
I was working on the 25th or 32nd floor of a very large building --
I was working on the 25th or 32nd floor of a very large building --
your probably guessed that, right!
I quickly jumped on an express elevator and got out to the street just
in time to see the Pope drive by and bless the crowd.
I will never forget the excitement in the air and the special
blessing of the Pope.
Later, during that same visit, my Mom and sister attended a
Mass in Des Moines, Iowa.
Wish I was in Philadelphia again to see Pope Francis.
Our very own Bishop Conley from Lincoln was there
and sent this photo!
Praying for a safe trip for Pope Francis and all those
who traveled to see him.
