That is why I asked my brother to read the catechesis.

We remember the displaced people of Palestine and pray for them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end, the faithful sang the Lord's Prayer and the Pope imparted his blessing to all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pope began the weekly Wednesday audience with symptoms of a cold.
