Webcams are not unusual, I have them for the Macinac Bridge, an eagles nest with baby eagles, Lourdes live, etc.They are for security, also.

My husband and I were in Rome last fall for the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha, a young Mohawk woman who died in the 1600s. I had ten pounds of mementoes with that I promised those who couldnt attend I would get blessed. I had sprained my ankle and chipped my kneecap in a fall the day before and had crutches.

We went into the tomb of JPII and the guard let us go in ahead of the line...only so many at a time can go in. I went right past the kneelers at the front and to the right side to the table top kneelers and began to spread out all the rosaries, holy cards,petitions and so on. The guard was talking to someone and didnt stop me. My husband was beside me. As we prayed, a warmth seemed to envelop us and a feeling of serenity and love. My husband was freaking out about it and I just shushed him and thanked John Paul for blessing us and the little things for the old people and others back home. I got up and felt no pain any longer. two weeks later I was well enough to hang up my Italian crutches. Since I have LUpus, a fast healing without a flair was exceptional.
