Yes, we got to see the Pope. We were assigned area B section 1: right up next to the stage. At first I wanted to be up front, but the press of the crowd made it impossible to see anything but the heads of the 123 people in front of me. So I politely backed my way out to the fringe where I could see His Holiness just fine. That evening, when the Boston Group met for reflection, I asked,"I wonder if we were more excited to see him, or he was more excited to see all of us." Imagine what it must be like to have over a quarter of a million people come out to see you and hear what you have to say.
