Sunday was our last day in Rome so we woke up and went and saw the Pope give his Angelus prayer in St. Peter's Square. It was packed. It really did feel like going to see a pop star. Everyone was giddy, they rolled a banner out of his window a few minutes early and everyone cheered. Flags and banners were waving, people were singing and chanting. The energy was amazing. I'd have gone and seen any pope speak just for experience, but the fact that I actually really like what this pope stands for was a huge plus. His prayer wasn't in English, but I found it in Italian and translated it. I'll link it when the Vatican posts their official translation.
