On the Plane
This is a really amazing shot -- all credit to Tony Gentile at Reuters. All the things that could've been going through his head at that moment....Captions, anyone?

About Me
- Name: Rocco Palmo
One of global Catholicism's most prominent chroniclers, Rocco Palmo has held court as the "Church Whisperer" since 2004, when the pages you're reading were launched with an audience of three, grown since by nothing but word of mouth, and kept alive throughout solely by means of reader support.
A former US correspondent for the London-based international Catholic weekly The Tablet, Palmo's served as a church analyst for The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, BBC, NBC, CNN, National Public Radio and many other mainstream print and broadcast outlets worldwide.
A native of Philadelphia, Rocco Palmo attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. In 2010, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St Louis. In 2012, he was named an at-large member of the Pastoral Council of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia by Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap.

In persona Christe.
"My beloved homeland . . . but no longer my home: When you are older, another will gird you . . . ""
Wow - this looks like a Vermeer or an icon - it took me a minute to see it was a photo! A bit ethereal and lonely too. The phrase that comes to mind for some reason - maybe the "otherworldliness" of the pic - is "Totus Tuus" (JPII's motto)
or "All Yours" - he is all God's, Jesus Christ's , Mary's , and also belongs to all those lovely kids there in Koln and around the world.
Boy - that one got me waxing philosophic....
