In March 2006, Benedict XVI visited the offices of Radio Vaticana at the end of Via della Conciliazione, the wide boulevard in front of St. Peter's, and went home with an iPod nano, courtesy of the radio staff. The 2-gig nano was engraved with the words "To His Holiness, Benedict XVI" in Italian and was pre-loaded with compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Frederic Chopin, Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky and Igor Stravinsky. Also on the iPod: A special 20-minute feature on the life and music of Mozart to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of the Austrian composer--a favorite of Benedict, himself a classical pianist who likes to play works by Mozart. The program was produced by the radio's English program and was written and narrated by an official at the Vatican's Secretariat of State, Msgr. Philip Whitmore. And now that same program is online at the radio's website, where you too can listen in...Enjoy!
What's on Benedict's iPod?

Well - you and his holiness on the same page - wow!! What does that say?!
I have not been a good friend with this - too wrapped up in Benjamin Bunny and what is going on with my mother.
So, if I blog many times a day, will that get me something for April 20th (bd!!)

Welcome to America. Please contine to pray for American, we are about to go to hell in handbasket. Crime, the people out of work all prices going up. No one cares. As people lose jobs businesses continue to make it harder to survive. Pray for American. Lives lost on the streets, in people homes, in a war that does not make sense. Please pray for America. Children are out of control because they've been told if your parents discipline you "call 911". You are old fashioned one said, thank God for that. The drug abuse is out of control. Please pray for America. We have a president who is arrogant. Continue praying for us. I am a witness that God answers prayers. We were in a drought business got ready to capitalize on that. We prayed for rain. God answered. Have they thanked God for the rain and not try to make money from that. Not at all. American needs prayer!
