Corpus Christi in Rome

ROME: CORPUS CHRISTI

Greetings and Peace in the Lord!

Today in Rome they celebrate Corpus Christi;

The Pope will celebrate the Eucharist in front of St John Lateran Basilica,

he will then lead a Eucharistic Procession to St Mary Major Basilica.

I am sure that you know that Pope Benedict

will depart Rome tomorrow Friday, for Cyprus.

He will be on the island of Cyprus, until Sunday.

We need to pray for God's special blessings on his Pastoral Visit.

He will have some very important meetings

with the Orthodox Patriarchs.

He will also deliver the Preparatory Document

for the October Synod

"On the Church in the Middle East"

Please pray for both of these important intentions.

Sincerely in the Lord

Father Patrick
