As he prayed, a light rain stopped and a brilliant rainbow arched over the camp.

Is there any Christian who can think this is a coincidence?

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. Perhaps enough prayer by enough holy people can cleanse the dreadful evil from that place.

No doubt in my mind as I saw the rainbow during the coverage...

Similar to the Biblical admonition following the flood of Noah, perhaps with prayer and faith God will prevent this evil from occurring again on the earth.

Remarkable, powerful images.

Yesterday on EWTN they showed some of the open air address the Holy Father gave to the young people of Poland. There must have been hundreds of thousands in attendance. It was such a joyous event. Pope Benedict obviously felt the sincerity and warmth of the crowd. It almost looks as if the clock has gone backwards for him. He looks younger and more relaxed in his job than he did a year ago.

This should change a few non-believers minds also.
The only thing God could have done more blatantly would have been to vocally speak the promise to those gathered.
The Pope asked yesterday why God was silent while this occurred. I think he got his answer.

Similar to the Biblical admonition following the flood of Noah, perhaps with prayer and faith God will prevent this evil from occurring again on the earth.

Brings to mind this hymn:

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be.

Words: George Matheson, 1882

Music: St. Margaret Albert L. Peace, 1844-1912

Meter: 88 886

In some of those pics, the old guy looks pissed.

I was thinking that if somehow Hitler was made whole and appeared at that prison camp, it would be first video of a Pope loosing it and giving someone knock down, drag out, ass kicking.
