Please continue to pray for the Holy Father as he embarks on this faith journey to two very turbulent countries.
As many of you already know, the pope always transmits greetings to each country as his flight passes over that nation. I will try to post his greeting to the US, later today.
Thanks for posting this — looking forward to the Pope’s fly-over message.

Since you are in such close proximity to Mexico, I would recommend you follow the Holy Father’s visit via EWTN. No commercials! No critique! Full coverage - LIVE - totally uninterrupted. Enjoy his visit to your neighbor! God’s blessings on you (see my new thread for the pope’s blessings).
