Pope Benedict XVI admonished the world that life is moving too fast nowadays and that we should often pause to reflect on first and last things.
I was watching the Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican on NBC [It wasn't Midnight Mass because of the Pope's failing health] and two deacons from the midwest USA [Duluth & Indianapolis] were assisting him at the High Mass. Slumber overtook me and I'm turning in early.
No more midnight Masses for this dude---I'm seventy now and gotta cut back on the night life...!!!
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
