“My Grandmother would have loved the symbol of peace projected by this, but she would have also said, ‘Oh my that’s a bad omen.’ At any rate, it’s one of those things that makes you go HMMM and reading it takes your mind off other things, even for just a minute, or does it?”
By Daily Mail Releasing a dove is a symbolic appeal for peace. But when the Pope tried it yesterday, it led to quite a flap.
Nobody had bargained on a resident seagull who apparently hadn’t been listening to the Holy Father’s sermon.
It swooped in and attacked the bird of peace as soon as Pope Benedict XVI released the dove from a balcony at the Vatican.

Watched by thousands of pilgrims below the fearsome gull, leading with its beak, chased and harried the terrified dove as it tried to escape among the ancient pillars and porticos.
Some 2,000 youngsters from Rome had marched to St Peter’s Square for the annual ‘Caravan of Peace’ which takes place on the last Sunday of January and finishes with the release of two white doves by the Pope shortly after the Angelus prayer.

It is not the first time the Pope’s prayers have not protected his birds of peace. Last year the two doves he released turned tail and flew straight back in through the open window.
‘They want to stay in the Pope’s home,’ Benedict had said.
What he had to say about yesterday’s kerfuffle was not known. But someone must have said a quick little prayer, as the dove eventually made good its escape.

I have listened to Rick Wiles for about a year. Pastor Hale told us how the egregious precedent murdered the symbol of our Constitution.

I know, it’s just amazing, and the turmoil that will ensue, most have no idea. I pray we have enough time to wake more up. I just read an article from Steve Quayle’s site titled, “Most Christians will take the mark of the beast” and I worry about that, pray he’s not right, hope he’s not right, but they refuse to wake up. God give us strength.
