Was it only a year ago?\u00a0<\/p>\n

We were there, some of us, gathered for the Vatican Blogfest.\u00a0 Elizabeth Scalia, Katrina Fernandez, Rocco Palmo, Thomas Peters, and so many others\u2026. brought together for the first time half a world away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was thinking, though, about the Beatification of Pope John Paul II, and what a prayerful and an emotional day it was.\u00a0 Back at my old blog, I carried a photo montage showing the crowds cheering, the cardinals strolling through the crowded streets, the people sleeping on the sidewalks, the celebratory balloons\u2013 go check it out here<\/a>.\u00a0 It was a beautiful, Spirit-filled\u00a0day.<\/p>\n

Blessed John Paul, pray for us.<\/p>\n
