Homily of Pope Benedict XVI
Saint Peter's Basilica
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Saint Mark tells us in his Gospel that as the disciples came down from the Mount of the Transfiguration, they were discussing among themselves what ?rising from the dead? could mean (cf. Mk 9:10).

Pope Benedict XVI Good Friday Message
The pope said that 'religious sentiments' were increasingly ranked among the 'unwelcome leftovers of antiquity' and held up to scorn and ridicule.
We are shocked to see to what levels of brutality human beings can sink.

Holy Saturday
The women saw how his body was laid; and they prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke 23:55,56
|
I now know a little more deeply why we call it 'Good' Friday - it is good because it reveals the heart of a Good God of boundless merciful love who Himself knows our pain and who, in His Son, transforms it all by redemptive love.

The Vatican Says 'No' to Obama's Ambassadors
The Washington Times | James Morrison | April 7, 2009
The Vatican has quietly rejected at least three of President Obama's candidates to serve as U.S. ambassador to the Holy See because they support abortion, and the White House might be running out of time to find an acceptable envoy before Mr. Obama travels to Rome in July, when he hopes to meet Pope Benedict XVI.
