Mr Biden was given a stone from the wall of the apparition to commemorate the trip.
Fr Richard Gibbons, who showed President Biden around the shrine, said it was"quite an emotional day." "He arrived at the basilica and I greeted him inside - then he started speaking about how much it meant to his family. "Then he started speaking about his son Beau who died, and he was getting a little emotional about that.Fr Gibbons said Fr O'Grady was attached to the chaplaincy of the US Army.
"Then he wanted to meet Fr Frank... we didn't know anything about that story until hours before that," he said."We went to the altar, he lit a candle for his own intentions and those of his family," he said."Then I left him be; I said, 'Mr President, I'm going to leave you for a few moments of self-reflection' - and he said, 'Yeah I'd like that'."It was just the full range of emotions, really.
What a misleading title. There is no such thing as a chance meeting when it comes to the President and the Secret Service. Cop on Newstalk.
Faith has a way to shine on one who believes. What a wonderful visit to Ireland. Eugene Corley.
Boo Hoo who cares how many lives has he destroyed.?
The priest would have turned his back if it was Hunter 😆😆😆
