An email arrived on Tuesday from Havana. It was from a priest, asking me to “pray for him during the Pope’s visit”. That may seem a curious request: thousands of prayers will be said during Pope Benedict XVI’s three day trip to the island, so what difference one more? Yet his simple petition was penetrating.
