This photo has been making its way around the internet and elsewhere in the past couple of days. 
The evening of the announcement that Pope Benedict would resign on February 28, a lightening bolt struck the cupola of St. Peter’s Basilica.
Made me think of how Pope John Paul I was described as a meteor in the night, that dazzled us with his presence but quickly vanished from our sight. Will Pope Benedict be described as a lightening bolt from heaven?
We do believe, right, that God reveals himself through the lives of men, and even in creation? Perhaps we have caught a glimpse of God in the lives of these two men, in the image of a meteor and that of lightening.
