My heart is heavy. We really need to keep the Holy Father in prayer. The threat on his life is very real.

Please also pray for Muslims around the world, that they may turn to God and follow His path of peace.

May the Blessed Mother continue to protect the Successor of St. Peter and shield him from all harm.

Oh, yes, Michelle. It's been very much on my mind since Friday. I've been following the discussion on Jimmy Akin's blog:

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for Pope Benedict XVI. Protect him.

A visiting priest left this morning for Rome (he's studying canon law for the Arch of Denver). He made an emotional appeal at Mass yesterday morning, reminding us all of the fallacy of the abuse being heaped on the Pope. One Muslim said all crosses in Rome will be removed.

Fr. Giovanni needs our prayers too -- as do all Catholics in Rome -- as this situation continues to be a true persecution of the Church.

Michele, I've had a similar feeling about our Holy Father as of late. My heart is so concerned for him. May God's will be done, and may his glory be revealed in whatever may come of this time of much misunderstanding.

Praying for peace and an honest and open dialogue between all people of faith. And praying for Pope Benedict's safety and that he is able to open a peaceful dialogue with the leaders of Islam.

Tomorrow (Friday) would be an especially important day to pray for the safety of the Holy Father and all in Rome as the Muslims have called for a day of complaining or day of chastisement -- street demonstations that could get very ugly.....

The persecutions have never stopped completely have they?
