Pope in Yankee Stadium

I am not Catholic but I have been watching the mass on TV today and really have been moved by the commentary as well as the service. Even though I have a lot of issues with the doctrines of the Catholic church, I am very aware that Jesus' name is being proclaimed around the world! That in itself is a blessing to the nations. May today be more than a service. May it be a beginning of hearts wanting to change and know Jesus the Lord.

This coming Saturday, April 26th please join the nation again for a day of repentance and prayer.
