With the news of the date set for the beginning of the Conclave, St. James Cathedral will hold Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament after Monday's 5:30pm Mass. The Vigil will conclude at midnight, which would be 9:00am Tuesday Rome Time and when the Conclave will begin with Mass. More information on this event on the Cathedral website.
Seattle University is also hosting a lecture with Fr. Patrick Howell, SJ on the resignation of Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI titled "Surprising resignation of the Pope throws the door open" next Thursday the 14th from 12:30pm - 1:30pm. Dr. Catherine Punsalan-Manlimos, a fellow Filipina, was a former professor of mine at SU and is now a good friend. Anyway, she is coordinating this lecture and currently serves as the director of the Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture at SU.
Whether or not you are able to attend this Mass and Exposition or Lecture, please join in prayer during this momentus and exciting time of the Church! Come, Holy Spirit!
Jesus tells a Samaritan woman that all who worship God must worship Him “in Spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) My hope is that, through my personal reflections and experiences on the public work or service of the people, many may not only worship, but also come to know Him in Spirit and Truth.
