Piero Marini

Hello to everyone from Quebec City !!

Welcome to Shyerenai in sunny California. I lived in San Diego for one year.
I agree Malibu is the place to go and also to visit and mingo with the stars... I have a few stories from a few years ago.

I am emailing you from a internet place inside the Eucharistic City . I am attending the International Eucharistic Congress . We have only two more day to go.

Greetings from " our Archbishop" and from me.

Hi peoples!! I'm back!

Thank you Letizia and Dangermouse.

I have never been burnt so much in my entire life. But I manage to perfect my cruise through the pipeline. Sadly, I made a fool of myself in front of my friends . I kept crashing into this wall of water .

Letizia, did you meet/see any stars while in Malibu? Go shopping in Third Street Promenade?
You're actually at the Eucharistic Congress? Jeepers Creepers!! That's tight!
Did you meet the archbishop in person?
WOW!!! I'm very impressed ! You're really there. Send us pics. Please.

(Taylor Hicks, the former American Idol, walked past me and my friends while we were on our way to Kabuki. We were so speechless we couldn't say anything.He's so tall!)

Found more glimpses of Piero. But every time I post something, I keep wanting to ask all of you "Have you seen this already? Or this? What about that?"

Hello Letizia and thank you for the greetings. It is nice to know we have our own representative in Canada right now. I hope the Congress will be a successful one.

Great link you posted there Shyerenai of Juan Pablo II y Benedicto XVI. Speeking for myself, I havent seen it yet, so thank you very much.

Your welcome Vanadija.

Found more but I'm not sure if you've seen these too. (Once again, they're only glimpses of Piero.)

Just to let you know, my entire family and I are moving to the Philippines this July so I can complete my studies in Manila. I was actually surprised when I found out that they had one of the best medical universities there. It's cheaper and faster to study there, and I can get my doctorate in 2 years.It's too expensive to study here in the States and I would probably end up suffering trying to pay off my student loans and debt to the university within the next 20 years. I just saw how much I owed Pepperdine and I nearly fainted. Don't worry, all the professors there speak English and classes are taught in English, so I won't have a problem. I would probably have to improve my Tagalog. My parents told me that I speak Tagalog with an American accent. (Obviously!)

How do I notify all of you since I would probbaly have to get a different Internet service? It will be different there and I can't use the same Internet service as the one I'm using now.

Hello Again!

Found another one.

(If you listen to what that lady is saying, I think you might find it cute. She's so in awe!)

Shyerenai, I don`t think you have to worry about different internet service, I doubt it would have any effect on you here. Best of luck moving

Here is an image from todays closing event. Sadly it rained heavily, I haven`t seen such a bad weather in a long time.

Thank you Vanadija.

Before I go (my flight leaves tonight around 10:35), here's one more:

International Eucharistic Congress , Quebec, Canada

S.E. Archbishop Piero Marini on June 22nd , just before the Closing Eucharistic
Celebration Statio Orbis


@ Letizia

The weather was nice early in the morning . With Holy Mass a drizzle started wich eventually turned into heavy rain. By the time we received Holy Communion , pails of water were falling on us, and we all ended soaking wet .
A priest next to me said : Wow , here is the Lord purifying Quebec !! and ... I believed him

Thank you, Letizia, that is a wonderful picture. Our Piero looks very noble and aristocratic in this one.

Hello everyone!
I'm back. I'm in the Philippines now. Classes don't start until October. It's very hot here and the rain doesn't stop. It's been raining for a whole month.

So how's everything?

Yes, Piero does look very aristocratic.

I found something interesting. And I thought it was quite funny. But just out of curiosity, does Piero Marini play any sports?

(We should try to get these people to join our forum.)

http://theratzingerforum.yuku.com/search/topic/topic/857

Does anyone have a link to "The Man Behind the Pope" ?

Hello! Is anyone here?

Hi and welcome back Shyerenai!

To answer your questions:

a.) The Ratzinger forum is a well known long existing forum, which used to have a thread you posted a link to and was indeed quite interesting and funny. But since the owner thought some of the comments went a little too far and were sort of disrespectful, he closed it. After a while this forum was created - if you go to the page 39 of The Ratzinger forum, you`ll see that Sidousek (here Admin) already invited all of the members to join her new forum, but sadly, only a few did.

b.) I know for sure that Piero likes swimming and also swims a lot and rumors were that he trained karate, but I can`t say if that is true or not. To me, it sounds quite possible, because it makes sense that he learned some moves to defend the Pope if the need comes.

c.) I`m afraid you can`t find the documentary you are asking for on the internet, at least I don`t know of its existence.

Tomorrow at 12 pm, Piero will celebrate a mass for Franco Sensi, president AS Rome.
Didn't find anything about how the relationship between both men was.

Thank you for that interesting news. I`m curious if any of the TV stations is going to show it.

Thank you .

Beautiful place... the Basilica di San Lorenzo fuori le Mura.

It seems there will be live transmition online on Romauno: http://www.romauno.tv/ , LaRomaSiamoNoi: http://www.laromasiamonoi.it/?action=page&n=webtv and also Sky TG24, judging by this answers: http://it.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080819054009AATQcai . Sadly I won`t be home to watch it .

Oh! Oops!
Sorry. I've been internet deprived for about two months. And I'm still on jet lag. I've been waking up at odd times during the day.

Yesterday in Palermo - the opening of 59. Settimana Liturgica Nazionale:
