Pope’s vigil for Syrian peace expected to be biggest in decades

The subject is now CLOSED.

Closed to some of you! Tell me please what all churches are included in your "Christian family tree"?

So you didn’t watch it after all! Yet, you accused me of the same. There’s a word for that type of person.

What about this part, “and a period of peace will be granted to mankind”?

Did I blink and miss it? Please tell me when that period was and how long did it last.

I’m sure the Blessed Mother wasn’t teasing us; but somehow I’m missing what you and others claim to have been accomplished. Is the “period of peace” over already? It must be if the Pope is calling for a prayer for peace now.

Two years later, this evasive approach was taken again when the Holy Father once more consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in a ceremony before 250,000 people in Rome in March of 1984. But this time, the Pope made his position clearer.

In a departure from his prepared text, he asked Our Lady of Fatima to "enlighten especially the peoples of which You Yourself are awaiting our consecration and confiding." The Pope thus publicly acknowledged that the consecration requested by Our Lady had still not been performed.

These words were included in an official report of the event in L’Osservatore Romano on March 26, 1984. A similar report appeared the next day in the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire, describing the Pope praying in St. Peter’s several hours after the consecration ceremony, asking Our Lady to bless "those peoples for whom You Yourself are awaiting our act of consecration and entrusting."

Case Opened!

Apparently you prefer to pick and choose which comments to read as fodder for your senseless attacks. Had you read ALL of the commentaries posted above, you might have spared yourself the additional angst of calling me to task. BTW, it was repeated last night. Hope you were able to watch the rerun.

Please give evidence of Muslims kneeling before the Eucharist.

Here is a screenshot from the prayer vigil:

Let me re-emphasize, I do not make a claim that it was sincere, I do not claim that there was some type of Taqiyya. But the fact of the matter is, as you can see in the above screenshot and the associated video, they were, whatever their motivation, kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament.

Sorry for delay, just located the video.

Which ones are the muslims, Mark? And why are the majority of the people, including nuns, standing?
