Uhm... Yes?

"Ah, Lord GOD!" I said, "I know not how to speak; I am too young." (Jeremiah 1:6) Let your light shine through me, though I know how pitiable I am, I also know how great you are, and how beautiful you've made us all. May I be yours always, and may your will be done. Even when I and others think I am too young. I cry out with Samuel, not knowing who is calling, but saying nonetheless, "Here I am." (1 samuel 3:4). "Speak, for your servant is listening." (1 samuel 3:10)

Papam Magnum

The more I think of Benedict, the more beautiful and great I think the man is!
I am so EXCITED!!!! I didn't think he had a chance at being pope, so I expected someone else... during noon mass today when the priest said "and our holy father, Benedict" I was taken aback that we had a pope so soon! Yet I was also horrified that it was a liberal cardinal, but excited and wondering whom it would be... was it the secret cardinal? was it some one from africa? was it someone from latin america? was it *gasp* ratzinger? It couldnt be! God bless the pope whomever he is!

After mass, I asked my friend hurriedly who was it? she didn't know... so I asked was it ratzinger? still she didnt know... she asked the first name, and said he was from Germany... I questioned joseph? She said she thought so... I then asked the front desk: "Who is Benedict?" after a pause, and some confusion, she said "oh, Ratzinger."

I've been excited since! He's the man! He's our Father!
YAY!!!!
