When a dear friend went on a recent pilgrimage to Rome, I asked her if she would like to take one of my CDs to give to the Pope. She said, “Yes! I will give him the “My Peace I Give You” CD at the same time I give the gift our prayer shawl ministry made for him. We will also be offering our sincere prayers for Pope Francis.”

She did, indeed, present the package (and prayers!) to the Archbishop of Indianapolis to give to the Pope. My hope is the Pope listens to peaceful music, being soothed and calmed to make the important decisions his high position requires. I am honored and thrilled to contribute music and prayers for this most holy man…
