Worldwide Spiritual Bouquet Sought for Pope's Anniversary

Patrick Ryan of South London set up the site with his family to show their appreciation and love for the Pope.

The goal of the site is to record every Mass celebrated for the Pope on that day and to encourage prayers for his intentions.

"We want to create a spiritual bouquet," Ryan told Independent Catholic News. "Would it not be wonderful if we could ring the world in prayer on Oct. 16 with holy Mass starting in Fiji, followed by New Zealand and then each country doing likewise as the sun circles the earth until it sets at the close of day off the west coast of Alaska?"

Masses for the Pope's silver jubilee may be registered at the multilingual site www.jp2-jubilee.org.
