Canonization of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII

Truly the story of A Lost Shepherd continues...
As Providence has it, I will be traveling and staying in Vatican City for the canonization of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII.
For those who have read the story, John Paul II figures largely in my return to the Roman Catholic Church.

Together with Our Lady of Medujgorje they guided our return.

It was on the night he died that I happened to be outside St. James Church in Medujgorje.  On that very night I was brought to my knees and uttered a prayer--a prayer from an ex-communicated ex-priest.
"John Paul,
pray for me.
pray for my wife.
pray for our son..."

(the rest is in the book)

So, an old friend offered the possibility of my traveling and staying with him.

At the urging of my lovely wife (I didn't want to go, the older I get the more of a hermit I have become), I said yes.

Of course I will carry intentions with me, one of which is for the 'lost'.

Repent and Reboot and Do it FAST

I came across this latest little snippet... A bishop askes the people of God to consider how they use social media and calls for people to resist the temptation to enter into the 'grave matter' of sin: ...Using social media for abuse or to attack the reputations of other people was a direct sin against the Eighth Commandment, forbidding people from “bearing false witness” against their neighbours, he said in a pastoral letter released March 19. “We must exercise discretion, respect others and their privacy and not engage in slander, gossip and rash judgment,” the bishop wrote in the document that was to be distributed in parishes the weekend of March 22-23. I admit that I have, at times, used my other blog--Praylium--in ways that challenged the status quo of the church--both the clergy and laity. Problem was--it did nothing.   The same stuff still happens. Poor liturgies, disgruntled gossipy judgemental laity, premadonna clergy, and perhaps my greatest bug--clericali...

Assisi

A subway, a train and a bus....and I ended up in Assisi.  For years I have heard, "You will love it there.  It is so quiet and peaceful." Really? Well, talking to a shop owner today...he said the crowds reminded him of when Pope Francis came through.  I learned that this is not the time to come to Rome or Assisi! I still prayed.  I knelt in a little stone church built by the hands of St Francis.  It sat within the Basilica.  It was good to pray in a place where a saint communed with the Almighty. I walked the hills and grasses, the cobblestones, and the stairs.  I prayed before the famed Crucifix and walked on the spot where Francis returned his belongings to his father.  Of course Our Lady of Medjugorje was present throughout the town...from posters to pendants. It is all so very connected.   I would write more, and I will.... however I must ready for another day of pilgrimage.  This time to a place my lovely wife reminded...
