Praying in Rome

Ed and I arrive our B4P mission base in Rome and a text rings in. Checking the phone Ed reads, "Amazing, the Pope resigned.  God's B4P timing is impeccable...".    The phone said my brother Kevin sent it.  Everything within me became hyper-alert and I began to pray in the Spirit. Could it be? Was the text a hoax? Did someone hack something, get my brother's name, and send the message? 
We couldn't get online, so I phoned reception and Paula said, "Yes, it is confirmed.  The Pope will finish on February 28th.  All of the world is coming to Rome."
A storm erupts, bolts of lightning crack the sky, thunder resounds. Hail pelts our windows that rattle in response to violent gusts of wind, as if the entire atmosphere is reacting.  In a flash it passes. If it were not for the sound of car tires kicking up water on the road, we might have thought we imagined the brief but raging storm.
The Pope's last day will be in the middle of the B4P Prayer Walk in Rome.  B4P worldwide will be interceding.  We could never have anticipated this event, but God knew, and wanted His ministry called B4P here for such a time as this.  We are speechless, unable to express the depth of our feelings, but through the power of the Holy Spirit we are not prayerless.
