I hope I did this thread right

[onyx]

You have!
Beautiful job girlfriend!
I need to go to the couch to see it on the big screen tv.
I sure love our Pope.

[ambrose]

Technically speaking, is he the Pope yet? Or is he more like the "Pope-elect"?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Hey guys, guess what I woke up just in time to watch....woke up at 1:54 Mountain time....

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I think he's been really pope, and this is just a solemnization of it....

[Mo1]

Ping

[Carolina]

Gloria in excelsis Deo.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

amen.

[ndkos]

I think there's a few things he can't do until he is installed, like appointing bishops for example.

[Miss Marple]

Thanks! I noticed eb Bush seated behind the King of Spain.

Though the libs tried .. it will be offical .. Benedict XVI is our Pope :0)

[Miss Marple]

Jeb Bush...

[Knitting A Conundrum]

That makes some sense...He has to be installed as bishop of Rome...just like bishops have to be installed into their bishopric....

[Knitting A Conundrum]

First reading done by an American!

[Mo1]

Not sure if you are still up Ping

[Miss Marple]

Acts 4:8-12.

A young man from the Diocese of Savannah.

[Mo1]

Thanks! I noticed eb Bush seated behind the King of Spain

I missed that .. thank you for mentioning it

[arbee4bush]

Good Job :)

I set the alarm for 3:45am. Was wondering if there was a live thread for the beautiful Mass this morning. Thanks!

[Miss Marple]

Psalm 117 being sung..."The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone..."

[Carolina]

Psalm 117. This is the day that the Lord has made.

[arbee4bush]

Is there something wrong with the satellite feed? The sound and picture don't seem to by in sync. I'm watching Fox

[Carolina]

Second Reading. First Peter 5:1-5. Clothe yourself with humility.

[bd476]

Beautiful Mo1! Thanks for posting this. It will be good to follow it here.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Epistle 1 Peter 5: 1-5, 10-11 in Italian...

[Carolina]

There was a momentary blip. It showed up on EWTN, too.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Gospel to be heard in Latin and Greek!

[Carolina]

Gospel. Alleluia. John 21:3. Benedict censing the Gospel Book.

[Carolina]

Gospel chanted first in Latin and then Greek.

It doesn't get any better than this!

[Carolina]

Lectio sanctae Dominum.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

John 21:15-19...how fitting!

[Carolina]

Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?

[Mo1]

You're welcome

[Carolina]

Lord, you know everything. You know that I love Thee.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Three times to love him to replace the three denials...

[Carolina]

Crying here. The Lord is so gracious. How did we deserve this love?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Follow me...

[Straight Vermonter]

Thanks for the posts everyone. Those who are working appreciate it!

[Mo1]

I wasn't sure what language this was .. Thanks

[Pro-Bush]

Watching the service, I am moved.

[Carolina]

Now chanting in Greek for the Eastern Catholics.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Reading in Greek...which is chanted...

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.

Feed my sheep....

[Miss Marple]

Interesting the difference in singing between Latin and Greek.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Getting ready to bestow the pallium

[Carolina]

Deacon's stole flapping in the wind. what a beautiful dalmatic. I just love the gold chasubles.

[Mo1]

FNC is talking over now

Saying this part is where he will officially become Pope

[Miss Marple]

That was a nice close-up of the pallium and the Fisherman's Ring.

[Carolina]

TV panning to show the pallium and ring.
