Karen Lewis Dear St. Elizabeth friends, In our Gospel passage last week, the question Jesus asked his disciples at Caesarea PhilippiNbut who do you say that I amNbrought back a flood of memories of my time in Rome during World Youth Day, 2000. I think most of us, in reflecting on our own lives, can point to moments or events where we felt the presence of God’s grace. Perhaps the evening prayer ser- vice with Pope John Paul II in the rolling hill country just outside the Eternal City with 3 million other pilgrims was one of the defining moments of my life. The Pope began his homily with the question Jesus asked, “but who do you say that I am.” He challenged us to answer the question for ourselves. During the vigil service, I remember standing on high ground looking around me in all directions. A sea of humanity encamped on the hills as far as the eyes could see. The Pope was just a small speck on a stage far off in the distance. I was able to make my way through the multitudes to the fence that surrounded the stage area.
