Usus Antiquior of Pope John XXIII
I know I don't need to tell you how beautiful this all is. How wonderful would it be to see the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI celebrate a public Mass in the Usus Antiquior at the Vatican Basilica just like the popes before him did? It would be the most important and positive thing he could ever do as the Vicar of Christ on Earth.

The Great Symbol of The Papacy: The Tiara
"And I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven." Gospel of Matthew (16, 13-20)

St. Gianna Beretta Molla
The following are quotes of Pope John Paul II from the Canonization Mass in 2004:
“St. Gianna Beretta Molla was a simple, but more than ever, significant messenger of divine love. In a letter to her future husband a few days before their marriage, she wrote: "Love is the most beautiful sentiment the Lord has put into the soul of men and women".
“Following the example of Christ, who "having loved his own... loved them to the end" (Jn 13:1), this holy mother of a family remained heroically faithful to the commitment she made on the day of her marriage. The extreme sacrifice she sealed with her life testifies that only those who have the courage to give of themselves totally to God and to others are able to fulfil themselves."

Cardinal Siri
If only he had become pope, how different the church would be today. I pray it returns to its former glory!
