Watching history unfold

For me, today is a sad day but also one full of hope.  It is the day before our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI leaves the Vatican and is no longer walking in the shoes of St. Peter.  Those shoes will be vacant until the Cardinal Electors choose his successor. 

For many of us it is difficult to be able to watch the events on EWTN since we are working or involved in other activities.  So here is a link to the Vatican Player which allows us to watch the moments via video.  http://www.vatican.va/video/index.html
I have this site bookmarked for the days ahead.

Let us continue to ask the Lord to care for Pope Benedict and to inspire the Cardinals as they take on the overwhelming task of voting for the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

St. Peter pray for them.  St. Peter pray for us.
