No, not the Madonna album of that name ( but that CD is one of my favourites!).
But tonight we are celebrating.
Five years since the election of Pope Benedict XVI as our Pope, our Shepherd, the visible head of the Church.
Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to Your shepherd, the Pope, a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build Your church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

We are praying for the Pope. And for the Church.
We are also celebrating five years of living in Sydney. The longest time we have ever, ever lived in one house. In one parish.
Thomas, Anthony and I made desserts for tonight. Fingers crossed. Hope I can eat some!
