Many of us watching this Pope were in tears as well. It was so beautiful. As for your comments about not falling for the Pope, you don't have to fear following him. We Catholics consider the Orthodox our equals in the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Our beliefs are so similar that there is really hardly anything that would prevent our two Churches: The Eastern and Western Churches, from being in full union again and undoing the harm that the Great Schism caused the Body of Christ. We are praying for the day when we can be reunited again so that the words of Jesus are fullfilled: That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. (John 17:21-23) God Bless You! To Martha G:

God is merciful and He uses people of faith to give us a message. Now I invite you to pray with me and many other Catholics and Orthodox for our Church to be One, as Jesus wanted it. God bless you and your family. www.byzcath.org Martha G.,

For some reason during the last 10 days I was on the verge of having confession and thurst of religious spirit. I was not in any way to fall for the POP. On his first Mass in DC Cathedral I was watching the ceremony on TV. When he starts to pray for confession Before I knew it I was down on the floor ,kneel down my face was full of tears, I was crying and pray with him and the mass. I was so happy with the feeling I had. God forgiven me for my sins. God has reason for this POP to come United States. Even though I am not Catholic I was waitng for him just as he is one of God's Diciples with a massage for the world. He was indeed the messanger of god help me to confess and cry in front of God with no plan on God's time. Thank God Thanks POP Benedict. Thanks ro the Media helping us to reach out with the Mass.
