Waiting
for Pope Francis
(Vatican Radio) The Boulevard of National Martyrs in Tirana is
already filled with people on Saturday night, ahead of Pope Francis’ arrival on
Sunday morning.
Thousands
of local residents and visitors have chosen to take their evening walk along
the street, checking out preparations for Sunday morning’s papal Mass.
For
most people, the Pope’s journey from Mother Teresa International Airport and
the papal liturgy taking place in Mother Teresa Square will be the best
opportunity to see the Holy Father in person.
In
the Square itself on Saturday night, engineers and technicians are making sure
everything is ready, while on the altar the Pope’s Master of Ceremonies,
Monsignor Guido Marini is walking through the final details of liturgy.
It’s
a remarkable atmosphere. Throughout the day, there was little evidence of
excitement, despite the omnipresent flags and banners. Now
less
than twelve hours before Pope Francis’ arrival it seems all of Tirana is
turning out to be part of the Holy Father’s historic visit.
