inundado por um mistério de luz que é Deus e N´Ele vi e ouvi -A ponta da lança como chama que se desprende, toca o eixo da terra, – Ela estremece: montanhas, cidades, vilas e aldeias com os seus moradores são sepultados. - O mar, os rios e as nuvens saem dos seus limites, transbordam, inundam e arrastam consigo num redemoinho, moradias e gente em número que não se pode contar , é a purificação do mundo pelo pecado em que se mergulha. - O ódio, a ambição provocam a guerra destruidora! - Depois senti no palpitar acelerado do coração e no meu espírito o eco duma voz suave que dizia: – No tempo, uma só Fé, um só Batismo, uma só Igreja, Santa, Católica, Apostólica: - Na eternidade, o Céu! 
Pope Benedict XVI (L) leads a consistory at St Peter's basilica on November 20, 2010 at The Vatican. 24 Roman Catholic prelates will join today the Vatican's College of Cardinals, the elite body that advises the pontiff and elects his successor upon his death.
This photo provided by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano shows cardinal-designate Raymond Leo Burke, of the US, Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, at the Vatican . Burke is one of the 24 to be elevated to Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI today.
As announced a month ago, this morning the Holiness of our Lord Pope Benedict XVI is holding an ordinary public Consistory for the creation of new cardinals. As mentioned then, among those raised to the sacred purple are two great friends of both the usus antiquior and a reform of the reform, Their Excellencies Archbishops Raymond Burke and Malcolm Ranjith, as well as Domenico Bartolucci, the former maestro of the Sistine Chapel (see a full list here).
