Freed French-Colombian hostage Ingrid Betancourt hugged Pope Benedict on Monday
I have been following this story over the past few months, and it’s riveting. This is a wonderful, happy ending. It makes me smile, when she talks of hugging the Pope and protocol…somehow, I don’t think he minded. I think I would end up doing the same thing, I do it every time with our dear Bishop. Lastly, the Pope points out that her prayer was the right kind, the kind it’s so easy to forget:
‘He heard you because you knew how to ask. You didn’t ask for a miracle to be
freed yourself, instead you asked to understand what was His will.’
freed yourself, instead you asked to understand what was His will.’
Just a nice read to start to the day. Again, at Deacon’s Bench, go read.
