Oremus pro Antistite nostro Alexandro. Stet et pascat in fortitudine tua, Domine, in sublimitate nominis tui.
(Let us pray for our Bishop Alexander. May he stand firm and shepherd his flock by Your strength, O Lord, in the majesty of Your name.)
Bishops: Ha, ha. We really thought you were going to give us a hard time, Holy Father! Phew!
Pope(quietly to himself): You can laugh and smile all you want now, but one of you is going to Outer Mongolia, one to Patagonia and the last one to Timbuktu!
Did I tell you the one about the traditionalist and the liturgist?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, natural photo. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteI've seen one or two photos taken during the ad Limina visit which are ideal for caption competitions. I wonder what the joke is here? :-)
