at exactly 12:03am EST the world changed...
i was quite engaged in watching a show when suddenly it was interrupted by a flash report... "HABEMUS PAPAM" it read.... WE HAVE A POPE!
as my cat snoozed and cuddled my pillow, i slowly drank in the realization of the event...
i was very surprised for it was only a day ago since the conclave began... not that it's a bad sign... i even dreamt about the conclave last night.... during the one hour of sleep i got, i dreamt that i was in front of the boob tube watching the white smoke come out of the sistine chapel's chimney... i was applauding as they announced the name of the pope...
well, now it's reality... as i was clapping my hands and thanking god of the blessing he gave the Church i heard it...
"Cardinal Yusesmus Josephum Ratzinger und Papam Benedictine xVI"
pope benedict XVI was born.... thousands applauded in quadro de san pietro.... hundreds cried... and millions stuck their eyes to the boob tube... unable to make it to quadro de san pietro...
noone knows what will happen next... but as i heard the pope's own words...
"Grazie."
i also thank god silently as the struggle for the Church's rise start all over again.
yukichiyu screamed her lungs out at 7:04 PM!
