It looks as though his reception may not be what we would wish for. So could we pray for his safety and for the success of the visit. It would be good to get prayer cover started before he reaches Turkish soil. Gerry

In view of the importance, and the risks being taken by Pope Benedict, I will pin this topic to keep it high on the list. May God Bless His Holiness.

But you can't tell him NOT to go.....I simply wish he had postponed this visit until a little later next year when some of the hostility had subsided. I will be very happy when he returns home safely. And I pray for the success of his visits.

In my view it would have been wrong to postpone the visit as it would have been telling the militants who are opposed to the visit (wrongfully in my opinion) that they can influence, adversely, a true Man of God. We are very fortunate that in recent years that we have Popes who do not fear the will of men in their endeavours to promote the Word of God, and in their efforts to bring all people to the Kingdom of God.

Pope Benedict is a true warrior of our Lord Jesus, and we pray that Our Blessed Lady will cast her protecting veil over this important Papal visit to Turkey, with the hope of building bridges of peace and understanding between all faiths.

A Turkish cleric was reading the Pope's speech or sermon. The Holy Mass was mostly in Italian (The Lord's Prayer in Latin) and the Bidding Prayers in Turkish, English, German, Italian and French. Afterwards he greeted a lot of clerics and lay people and gave them a medal. I must say I thanked Almighty God and Our Lady that through the media of the Internet "I was able to be there!". It was a wonderful experience. (Our 8 year old grandson was a bit impatient because he had to wait sometime before he could play his on-line games).
