Celebrated by the Most Reverend Alexander K. Sample of Portand, Oregon, the homily was delivered by His Eminence Cardinal Levada, former President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei.
The day had started with Eucharistic adoration at the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Damaso before we processed in good number to St Peter's. It is quite evident that amongst the many people attending the events this year, there are many from the United States.
