Transsubstantiation. the pope is supposedly meeting with native americans, but not ones that oppose serra. only those that are in favor of his canonization. that s a big point for the critics. that certainly is a very good point you re making there, chris cuomo. so delia, john, you re looking at what we re seeing here. this is part of the liturgy of the tell us what we ll be moving into here. well, we re going to see the prayers of consecration. there is what are called the eucharistic prayers. it s used to describe the supreme act of faith to thank god for becoming man and sacrificing himself for the salvation of the world. so the pope will recite one set of prayers then there will be a pause, very briefly when the congregation recites a line. and then there will be another prayer which will culminate in the consecration. it is that moment when catholics ....
Private chapels in the apostolic palace, when he had the murals on the walls done, he brought in an eastern orthodox artist, who did this mural that showed the communion of saints, you know, through time, and that when you stood in that space, you stood shoulder to shoulder surrounded by this heavenly host of saints. so, we re also engaging in communion in that sense here today. well, and i was thinking that one of the saints that has a thread running through this day is st. francis of assisi. obvious reasons for pope francis, but also john xxiii, before the start of the second vatican council, went to assisi in pilgrimage to pray to st. francis for his help with the second vatican council and pope john paul ii use assisi as a play where he held interreligious prayer days, which also tried to unify. so, there s a kind of interesting thread speaking of the communion of saints of st. francis as well, for all three ....
