First Official German Visit by The German Pontiff



In Light of the World (p. 117) the Holy Father admitted that "...I have not yet visited Germany officially... [T]he capital, too, has to be visited at some point. If the Lord grants me the strength, I would be very happy to visit Germany again."




Today the Vatican Information Service posted the schedule for the visit to take place 22-25 September 2011. Looks like some massive Masses are planned for the visit: e.g. a Berlin Olympic Stadium Mass and a closing Mass at an airport.
