Here's your link for the latest on the Year of Saint Paul which began today with the first Vespers for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.
In his homily, Benedict XVI said: "Paul wants to talk to us today. That is why I have desired to convoke this Pauline Year: to listen to him and to learn from him today, as our teacher, 'the faith and the truth' in which are rooted the reasons for the unity of the disciples of Christ."
Benedict continued: "The experience of being loved to the core by Christ opened his eyes to the truth and to the way of human existence. It was an experience that totally embraced him. Paul was free as a man loved by God, a man who, by virtue of God, was capable of loving with Him. This love is now 'the law' of his life and therefore the freedom of his life."
Something we all should discover--

Although my pictures of the two of us at the Basilica of St. Paul's are now "too old to count for the plenary indulgence" (smile) I will cherish the visit there during our pilgrimage even more so during this YEAR OF PAUL.
Isn't Papa Benedict awesome?
Great that my family & I started off our Year of Paul with YOU celebrating Holy Mass @ Poor Clare's with your parents!
GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME! (remind me of that the next time I'm whining & complaining, smile).
THANKS FOR KICKING OFF OUR YEAR OF PAUL WITH THOSE ANGELIC VOICES (AND GIGGLES) AT POOR CLARE'S! (Mackenzie is Mackenzie Clare, too, you know!).
