The Holy Father has left The Big Apple. The Pope toured Habana, Cuba, as well as Washington, DC, New York City and finally Philly today and tomorrow, where The Pontiff when he wraps up his whirlwind American tour replete with with peace and spirituality. He addressed US Politicians, world leaders, but it is obvious that his preferred flock are those, who are marginalized, the poor and the under-served.
And for those political pundits who criticize The Pope, who is asking us all to care for each other and to do unto others, CITY IMAGES says, its high time to get with the program.
US House Speaker John Boehner says he's resigning from the third most powerful position in government and leaving Congress. Why? Does he have a new mission? is he sick of the bull? was he was pushed out by the right-wing arm of GOP, who are prepared to shut down the government next week??? VIDEO: Boehner on decision to resign: 'prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable harm to the institution': http://apne.ws/1NRM4Bo
Boehner: Resigning For The Good Of The House
The Pope takes over The United Nations today, Pope Francis formally addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. The assembly is celebrating its 70th anniversary, the attendance and address of Pope Francis are guaranteed to make it a special one.
The Holy Father arrived in New York City and was immediately greeted by cheering fans and supporters at John F. Kennedy Airport as he began his historic, whirlwind tour through the United States. He is the first Hispanic Pope, as well as the first Jesuit to serve as Pontiff.
Pope Francis' historic 40-hour pilgrimage to the city that never sleeps started by taking a drive up Fifth Avenue all the way to St. Patrick Cathedral., where he held a prayer service for all devotees.
Pope Francis Arrives in New York After Touring Washington http://nyti.ms/1OVSFM1
If you are one of the many who happen to go to work in Manhattan on Friday, you may wish to consider staying put and telecommuting, if you are able to do so.
The Pope is in NYC, and everyone is bound to see and feel the impact, even if they try to stay far away from Francis’ big events.
Pope Francis’ visit to The Big Apple, the first since Benedict XVI toured the city for three days in 2008, will have wide ranging implications in major and expected ways -- like traffic -- while making some surprising impacts -- including to mail delivery.
A Jew, a Communist and a practicing Catholic were working a construction site in Argentina. It’s not a joke but a story Pope Francis told to a group of young Cubans urging them to seek friendships across the political divide. “They were all working for the common good,” Francis said. “This is social friendship, to look for the common good.” It is a poignant message in the Cuban nation split between pro and anti-regime sentiments.
To know Pope Francis is to understand his long identity as a Jesuit. It may be logical to mistake this Pope for a modern day St. Francis of Assisi, given his emphasis on helping society’s outcasts and his focus on the Christian moral duty to protect the disenfranchised and our environment.
As the first Pontiff from Latin America, he can be referred to as a truly American Pope. So will The Holy Father teach our US politicians a good lesson in humility and how to get along with one another, or is that really asking for too much?
After touring Cuba and lecturing the Castro brothers about the importance of religious freedom and service, The Pontiff is expected to arrive today and meet with President, Vice President and will also address a joint session of Congress.
