We prayed this at Mass with the school children; the first reading was about the first community of believers gathered around the apostles. I tried to explain to the children how important it was that we pray for Pope Benedict; all the evil that surround us. His role as "Successor of St. Peter" and the need for us to support him in prayer. Thanks for making this a focus for us, Terry!

Been all over this one for days. Tweeted it and Plurked it on Friday or Saturday. It's a good and holy thing.

I have that and plan to continue with the prayer beyond the Novena.
