What Would You Have Written on the Pope's Cast?
Pope Benedict had his cast and pins removed from his right wrist. Hopefully he will be able to play piano again. Even more importantly, he will be able to catch up on his writing which he does all by hand! Actually, he has been using a digital recorder to work on his sequel to Jesus of Nazareth.
I wonder, what would you write if you had been able to sign the Pope's cast?

Carpe Diem! No particular reason. . . I just always liked the saying.
Your Hiding the beginnings of the stigmata!
I would have been torn between writng somethin' spiritual vs musical, because I do know what it is like as a musician to lose the use of your hands.
In 1972, as a freshman in highschool, I broke both my foreams simultaneously! That Christmas my parents gave me a mandolin which I stared at for 8 weeks until the casts came off. Ouch! There's other things you can't do with both arms broke too, which I can't talk about on this blog.
So I can empathize with the holy Father and the feelings that went through his mind staring at the piano for 6 weeks.
Hans Kuns that is, right Fr.?
