Preparing to Venerate the Cross
We Have a New Pope!
We have a new Pope! Pope Francis. God bless him. He speaks strongly and with great kindness. I like him a lot already. His Twitter account is now active, https://twitter.com/Pontifex. From news.va, story on his first Angelus here.

Laetare
Praying the Confiteor on Laetare Sunday, March 10, 2013, Saint Benedict Catholic Church, Richmond, Virginia.
Here is a New Advent article on Laetare Sunday.
What color is rosacea anyway? Rose? Pink? Ashes-of-roses? Salmon? Your call – here are some examples.
Flowers, rosacea vestements, etc. today, then back to the more somber violet. Three more weeks until Easter!
Stations – Updated
Following the Stations of the Cross.
The image below is one of the Stations at Saint Benedict Parish in Richmond, Va. (See the other station links on the right side of the page). St. Veronica wipes the face of Jesus with her veil. She is the patron saint of photographers.
Photographers, do our images bring happiness or grief to the face of Jesus?
Update: good article here on the 6th Station, from the John Paul II Shrine blog.
