Pilgrimage of Cardinal Sean in Istanbul

Must see and read Cardinal Sean's blog this week. Lots of pictures of ancient church turn museum in Istanbul and St Petersburg with corresponding commentary. Better than if I've gone on pilgrimage myself.

The Muslims have a devotion to the Blessed Mother. They have adopted a lot of things from the New Testament, and one of them is regard for Christ, even though they do not accept his divinity, and also a very tender devotion to Mary.

I pray for our Blessed Mother's intercession to enlighten radical, fanatical and terror prone Muslims on ways to assimilate themselves and tolerate other people with or without faith.
