At 10:00 am this morning, the Holy Father presided at a Mass celebrated in presence of thousands of Catholics in Nationals Park in Washington. In the words of one of the young people who attended, this was an amazing display of colour and a celebration of joy.
The video of the Mass is yet to be posted, so stay tuned for that, but in the meanwhile, readers can now access the text of the Holy Father's homily.
Later this afternoon, the Holy Father is scheduled to meet with Catholic Educators at the Catholic University of America. This encounter, which will take place at 4:45 pm, has been touted as one of the most anticipated events in the papal itinerary, so we'll post some of the details here as soon as they're available.
At 6:15 tonight, Benedict XVI will take part in an Inter-religious gathering at the Pope John Paul II Cultural Centre, and this will be followed by a special gathering with representatives of the Jewish community. No doubt, there will be more on these gatherings in the coming hours.
