It was bound to be an amazing day-or so we thought. The brilliance and elation of the Papal visit immediately blurred into a period of mind blowing torment and distress, a period from which I am as yet developing. That day. The date was Tuesday, January 26, 1999, and the whole city of St. Louis was restlessly anticipating the appearance of the Pope. The day began with a transport ride to Laclede's Landing where a huge number of secondary school understudies combined and walked to the Kiel Center where the Papal Youth rally was being held.
