Priest professed/prayed the published text of the consecration in English after noon mass today (parish is in the Newark, NJ Archdiocese).
The parish website says the same will be dine here at 1:30pm, which is 6:30pm lical time in Rome (this is the time Bergoglio is scheduled to profess/pray the consecration, either in Latin or in Italian one would presume).
Big doings
Fabulous! Nothing special today where I attend daily mass but my own parish was going to recognize the consecration. Also, our bishop joined in today. It is a big deal. We all need to pray like never before.
Its done. Amen!
Praise be to God! Fiat!
