Goodbye to Benedict XVI
-

Pope Benedict XVI is on his way to John F. Kennedy Airport.
A small crowd saw him off from the papal nuncio’s residence on 72nd Street, spread out along the block between Madison and Park avenues.
The gathering had a neighborly feel. Some people had wandered over from nearby apartments. Children, dogs and bicycles were along the barricades.
Then the motorcycles started up.
Watch for the yellow-and-white flag, a woman in the front told two children. Look for the man with the white hat.
His limousine came into view and one woman called out, He’s waving.
And then the limousine turned south on Park Avenue and he was gone.

This was one of the most powerfull moving experences I’ve ever seen, sadly through the TV! For all of those people out there that have nothing good to say about the Popes visit, I say keep your mouth shut! It says it on the god you honnor, it’s in your hand everyday! “in God we trust” Yes we Trust God and he sent his right hand man!
