Today we went to the Papal Audience. Held every week, in Saint Peter's Sq when its warm and in the auditorium, in the Winter. We were lucky as we had seats on the Podium, about 10 metres away from where the Pope sits. As is usual when abroad, you always bump into someone you know and sure enough thats what happened today. Sitting not 10 feet away was Father Anthony, one of the Canons from Eltham.
The audience is a very international affair. The various speeches and introductions being done in 6 Languages, then the Pope finishes with the Pater Nosta in Latin ( Our Father) and then gives his blessing.
