I’m really excited about the Holy Father’s visit! The Vicar of Christ on earth, who tends the Flock entrusted to him by none other then the Good Shepherd.

I believe that he comes to “strengthen the brethren” and further the “New Springtime” of the Church. We truly need Pope Benedict’s visit to our country, fittingly he comes to the Nation’s Capital. The theme for the visit is Christ Our Hope. Indeed, he comes as the visible representation of Christ Our Hope!
