What a week this had been! It’s hard to imagine that less than a week ago, a crush of the faithful were packed into St. Peter’s Square to witness the canonization of our two newest saints! For those of us who were unable to be there in person, technology gave us a unique window into the worship, the pageantry, and yes, even some of the craziness. I loved following my friends who were in Rome on Twitter, watching Fr. Roderick’s awesome videos, and seeing my Facebook feed come to life with impressions and celebrations. Now we continue to move forward with the “marching orders” given us by Saint John Paul II and Saint John XXIII, praying through their intercession for the strength to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.
