The Cardinal Tweets the Pope's Retreat

Fr. Vogel and Pope Benedict XVI are both on retreat this week, though Fr. Vogel claims they are on separate retreats.

The Lenten Retreat for Pope Benedict (and the papal staff) is being led by Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi. One of the unusual aspect of this retreat is that Cardinal Ravasi is tweeting many of his meditations.

So you can pray along with Pope Benedict on his retreat by following Cardinal Ravasi on Twitter. You'll just have to ask Fr. Vogel about his retreat when he returns. (Evidently he isn't as tech savy on his retreat.)

And, by the way, you can also follow St. Columbkille on Twitter -- though we're just getting a handle on it.
