Philadelphia has been all abuzz this winter in excitement... Pope Francis has announced he is coming here to attend the World Meeting of Families in September! It will be his first trip to the US as pope, and we are beyond excited to have the opportunity (along with millions of others, no doubt) to hear him celebrate Mass on the steps of the Art Museum.
In anticipation of his visit, we have been saying the Prayer for the World Meeting of Families every Sunday at church, and Liam has really taken to this prayer. He brought it home on a prayer card and has been praying it almost every night before bed.
He then asked Fr. Cioppi if he could lead the congregation in the prayer one Sunday, and he was thrilled to be told yes! It was really touching to see him so bravely stand at a podium in front of our entire congregation and lead them in prayer. He's now doing this every few weeks at church. Joergen has really picked up on it, too, and can now recite the prayer by heart. I have no idea what to expect in September, but one thing I do know is that these boys are ready :)
