"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Sad, Sad Day...
...OK, so no Motu Proprio today... *sigh*
However, checking the Vatican Website, I noticed that they had a section labelled "Bulletin of the Holy See Press Office under embargo" so something seems to be afoot...
Well today was an extra holiday for the Holy See workforce, so it was unlikely that HH would make a big announcement that would involve any work on the part of others. They were probably all enjoying a long morning coffee, a jolly good celebratory lunch and an extra long siesta!
It seems that Pope Benedict is encouraging cultivation of the virtue of patience among the Faithful!
It's difficult to demonstrate without acccidentally creating the link - thereby removing the code from sight! If I try to do it step by step, it gets rejected as the tags aren't closed! I'll email you!

ReplyDeleteAnyone wanting a chuckle on the subject come over & have a look at the post script to my birthday greeting to the Holy Father.

ReplyDeleteMac, Mac, Mac! Why on earth do you torture yourself thus? I want the Motu Proprio as much as you do, but you musn't let it become a fixation!
ReplyDeleteUnder emabargo just means you have to be accredited by the Holy See, it dosn't mean anything more than that.
ReplyDeleteSIMON !! Did you have to burst my bubble?
