Dedicated to His Holiness...
Today's first reading;
Jeremiah 20: 10-13
10. For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’
11. But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
12. And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
13. Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
I thought of the Pope while reading this. He could probably use some prayers from the rest of us right now.

Subvet- That couldn't have been more appropriate a reading for the Pope's situation. I hate that he is being persecuted like this. I'll definitely remember him in my prayers today and especially while I'm in the Adoration Chapel tomorrow.
