The excitement is building here as Rome prepares for tomorrow's canonizations of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. I took this snapshot yesterday mid-morning at St. Peter's Basilica.
There wasn't even an event happening and they already had to close the streets to car traffic because of the influx of pilgrims. Predictions I've heard of the total number of pilgrims expected to come to Rome for the canonization vary from 800,000 to 7 million! That's quite a range! We'll see what happens tomorrow. One thing is for sure – there will be a tremendous outpouring of God's grace and mercy on this most historic of Divine Mercy Sundays!
