10:48 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:48:31 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-David W. Dunlap-An Enduring Message of Forgiveness-Biblical text from the Gospel of Matthew were found fused to metal in the wreckage at Ground Zero.-“Retaliation.”-“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”So many chapters. So many verses. But these were the words — from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, in the Gospel of Matthew — found permanently exposed at Ground Zero after the Sept. 11 attacks. The pages of the Bible in which they were printed had fused to a chunk of steel as the World Trade Center collapsed, to be found only months later.The artifact is to be shown to Pope Francis when he visits the National September 11 Memorial Museum. It was given to the museum by the photographer Joel Meyerowitz, whose book “Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive” is the definitive pictorial chronicle of the months following the attack.A firefighter found the fragment in March 2002, under the Tully Road, a temporary truck route that covered the last remnants of the south tower. He called out to the photographer, who happened to be nearby.“This shredded, burned and rubble-covered Bible came to me from the loving hands of a fireman who knew that I was the record keeper of ground zero,” Mr. Meyerowitz said Thursday in an e-mail from Italy, where he now lives.“My astonishment at seeing the page that the Bible was open to made me realize that the Bible’s message survives throughout time,” he said, “and in every era we interpret its teachings freshly, as the occasion demands.”

10:46 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:46:48 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-The Future Demands Action Now, Pope Says--We cannot permit ourselves to postpone “certain agendas” for the future. The future demands of us critical and global decisions in the face of worldwide conflicts which increase the number of the excluded and those in need.

10:43 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:43:58 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope Cites Argentine Epic Poem in Plea for Unity-El Gaucho MartÃn Fierro,” a classic of literature in my native land, says: “Brothers should stand by each other, because this is the first law; keep a true bond between you always, at every time – because if you fight among yourselves, you’ll be devoured by those outside.”
10:41 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:41:53 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Solutions to Conflicts Must Not Ignore ‘Individual Persons,’ Pope Says-In wars and conflicts there are individual persons, our brothers and sisters, men and women, young and old, boys and girls who weep, suffer and die. Human beings who are easily discarded when our only response is to draw up lists of problems, strategies and disagreements.
-Todd Heisler/The New York Time
10:35 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:35:51 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-A Few Miles from Wall Street, Francis Scolds Banks-Somini Sengupta @SominiSengupta-Pope chides financial institutions for "oppressive lending systems." Huge applause.
10:35 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:35:34 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope: Do Not Be ‘Nations United by Fear and Distrust’-An ethics and a law based on the threat of mutual destruction – and possibly the destruction of all mankind – are self-contradictory and an affront to the entire framework of the United Nations, which would end up as “nations united by fear and distrust”. The pope drew applause for his words on nuclear arms control.

10:31 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:31:15 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope: Honor ‘Natural Difference Between Man and Woman’-The defense of the environment and the fight against exclusion demand that we recognize a moral law written into human nature itself, one which includes the natural difference between man and woman and absolute respect for life in all its stages and dimensions Pope Francis’s reference to the “natural difference between man and woman” and respect for “life in all its stages” were nods at the church’s opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion.

10:28 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:28:26 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Mankind Must Not Place Itself First, Francis Says-Creation is compromised “where we ourselves have the final word… The misuse of creation begins when we no longer recognize any instance above ourselves, when we see nothing else but ourselves.”
10:22 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:22:44 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope: Do Not Ignore Those in Poverty, Deprived of Rights-It must never be forgotten that political and economic activity is only effective when it is understood as a prudential activity, guided by a perennial concept of justice and constantly conscious of the fact that, above and beyond our plans and programs, we are dealing with real men and women who live, struggle and suffer, and are often forced to live in great poverty, deprived of all rights.The pope drew applause again when he called for a balance between economic activity and social justice.To enable these real men and women to escape from extreme poverty, we must allow them to be dignified agents of their own destiny.
10:18 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:18:33 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pursuit of Material Prosperity Hurts the Weak, Pope Says-A selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged, either because they are differently abled (handicapped), or because they lack adequate information and technical expertise, or are incapable of decisive political action.
-Todd Heisler/The New York Times.
10:15 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:15:40 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Francis: Man is Not Authorized to Abuse Earth, Much Less Destroy It-We Christians, together with the other monotheistic religions, believe that the universe is the fruit of a loving decision by the Creator, who permits man respectfully to use creation for the good of his fellow men and for the glory of the Creator; he is not authorized to abuse it, much less to destroy it.
10:14 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:14:04 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Harm to Environment is Harm to Humanity, Pope Says-[Man] possesses a body shaped by physical, chemical and biological elements, and can only survive and develop if the ecological environment is favourable. Any harm done to the environment, therefore, is harm done to humanity.The pope drew applause when he linked harming the environment with harming humanity.
10:12 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:12:08 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Francis Invokes a ‘Right of the Environment’-A true “right of the environment” does exist, for two reasons. First, because we human beings are part of the environment. We live in communion with it, since the environment itself entails ethical limits which human activity must acknowledge and respect. Man, for all his remarkable gifts, which “are signs of a uniqueness which transcends the spheres of physics and biology,” is at the same time a part of these spheres.
10:08 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:08:42 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope Calls for Recognition of the Rights of All--The pope addressed the United Nations General Assembly.To give to each his own, to cite the classic definition of justice, means that no human individual or group can consider itself absolute, permitted to bypass the dignity and the rights of other individuals or their social groupings.

10:03 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:03:55 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope Praises United Nations--Many grave problems remain to be resolved, yet it is clear that, without all those interventions on the international level, mankind would not have been able to survive the unchecked use of its own possibilities. Every one of these political, juridical and technical advances is a path towards attaining the ideal of human fraternity and a means for its greater realization.The pope, in the opening of his speech to the United Nation’s General Assembly, praised the United Nations as a check on mankind’s excesses.
Pope Francis Addresses the U.N.: Live Updates-9:52 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:52:44 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Benjamin Mueller-Fighting Off Rats to Glimpse the Pope-Two hours before the security gates opened at Central Park, and six hours before the pope was set to arrive, the line at one gate stretched more than two blocks long.Nancy Diaz, 57, of the Bronx, had been waiting outside since the curtains fell on last night’s showing of “Hamilton,” where she works as an usher. She tried to sleep at the entrance to the park on 60th Street, but rats drove her onto a bench in Columbus Circle.“They were brutal,” she said of the band of six rats. “They were jumping, shrieking, making noise.”“But it’s the pope.”--9:51 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:51:19 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-David W. Dunlap-Gathering in Stillness at Sept. 11 Memorial--Water. The sound of falling water, a lovely veil to mask the impatient routine of Lower Manhattan, is the loudest noise now at the north pool of the National September 11 Memorial plaza.This is the route Pope Francis will take when he arrives at the World Trade Center with Cardinal Timothy Dolan: along the south side of the north pool, which marks the site of the north tower.About 1,000 people — victims’ family members, survivors, first responders, neighbors — are gathering around the south pool for a glimpse of the pope. A kneeler has been placed at the pool’s edge so that he can offer a silent prayer; a large candle nearby pays homage to Pope Benedict XVI, who lit a candle at bedrock during his 2008 visit.In contrast, the perimeter of the north pool will be kept empty of all but security personnel. It will afford the pontiff an opportunity — if he cares to avail himself — to contemplate the mighty vastness of the void, almost an acre in extent, where thousands of people were working on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.It will give him a chance to listen to the falling water.--9:47 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:47:21 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-A Former Mayor Remembers--9:17 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:17:12 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Somini Sengupta--Thanking Everyone, Including Maintenance Workers--“Dear friends, good morning,” the pope began in his address to 350 United Stations staff members shortly before 9 a.m.--“Viva Papa,” went up a cheer.The pope called the workers “in many ways the backbone of this organization” and made a joke about “all those who could not be here today,” and with a pause, “because of the lottery.”For 350 spots to see the Pope in the building lobby, 4758 staffers put their names in the hat.True to form, the pope thanked not only field staff and interpreters but also “maintenance and security personnel.” He spoke slowly in English. He asked the non-believers in the audience to “wish me well.” A round of laughter and applause went up.After his remarks, he prayed over a wreath that symbolizes those those who lost their lives in service.--9:08 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:08:01 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)--Francis Thanks U.N. Staff for Their Work-The vast majority of the work done here is not of the kind that makes the news. Behind the scenes, your daily efforts make possible many of the diplomatic, cultural, economic and political initiatives of the United Nations, which are so important for meeting the hopes and expectations of the peoples who make up our human family.— Pope Francis addressed the staff at the United Nations Friday morning, before his speech to the General Assembly--8:56 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:56:03 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Sandra E. Garcia--After Breakfast, He Blessed Their Rosaries--Inez Hernandez was glowing as she left the pope’s New York City residence on East 72nd Street. Her smile was wide and her eyes were bright.“He blessed us,” said Dr. Hernandez, 54, who runs a medical practice in Washington Heights. She and her husband were among a group of 25 Catholics who had been invited to meet the pope this morning.“We arrived at 6 a.m. and waited for him to have breakfast,” she said. “He is a very humble and simple man, he listened to us, and you can see he is human, he is reachable.“It is a privilege I never expected, to meet him and hold his hand,” she added, her clutching her hands towards her chest.Dr. Hernandez said she had received a message from Pope Francis while she was in Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, asking all Catholics to pray for Syrian migrants.“Even someplace so remote, we received the message,” she said. “I let him know that his message reached us and we prayed.”Dr. Hernandez said she was not allowed to snap a selfie with the pope but was promised that official pictures would be sent to her. Pope Francis then blessed everyone in attendance and their rosaries. Dr. Hernandez pulled them out of a side pocket of her navy blue jacket. In two crystal boxes there sat mauve colored rosary beads. She smiled as she showed them.“He blessed these,” she said.--8:51 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:51:10 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-The Pope Is in the Building--8:24 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:24:16 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Meanwhile Downtown--8:22 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:22:18 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Patrick J. Lyons--Even the Insects Are Praying-A praying mantis rode into New York on a Long Island Rail Road train.--On the 6:45 a.m. Long Island Rail Road express from Port Washington to Penn Station, a conductor collecting tickets called attention to an unusual 3-inch-long stowaway from the insect world.“A praying mantis!” he said.“Of course it would be, with the Pope in town,” a woman sitting nearby chimed in with a smile.--8:12 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:12:27 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Laurie Goodstein--Francis to Meet Families and Speak at 9/11 Memorial-The pope will visit the National September 11 Memorial later this morning.One of the most delicate appearances that Pope Francis will make on his trip to the United States is the service with leaders of other religions at the September 11 Memorial, the very site where the towers of the World Trade Center were brought down by extremists who believed they were acting in the name of Islam.So Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York put the planning of that event in the hands of Bishop James Massa, an auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Brooklyn who formerly served as executive director of the secretariat for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.In an interview this week, Bishop Massa said that the sensitive issue is how to give religious leaders of many faiths an opportunity to pray for peace, but “do it in a way that is respectful of individual religious identity.”“There’s really no common prayer that we all agree upon,” said Bishop Massa. “So it’s not praying together, but being in the presence of the other praying. That’s the distinction we make – being in the presence of, with great respect and great appreciation for, the other.”The plan is for the pope to meet the families of 9/11 victims and first responders outside near the Reflection Pool at the memorial, then descend into the museum’s Foundation Hall. There he will be greeted by a dozen representatives of six major world religions — Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Very intentionally — some of the leaders are women. Also in the hall will be more than 550 guests from those six faiths and many others, said Bishop Massa.The pope will offer an inclusive prayer, then five of the religious leaders will offer prayers or meditations on the theme of peace, first in their sacred tongues, then in English. After each meditation, he said, a Buddhist bell will be rung.Francis is expected to give a very brief talk, maybe only five to seven minutes, Bishop Massa said. A cantor will sing a piece reminiscent of a Kaddish prayer, a youth chorus will sing, and Cardinal Dolan will invite all the participants to offer one another “a sign of peace” in whatever way they feel comfortable, be it a handshake, a bow or a hug.“It’s the place where a terrible act of violence happened in the name of religion,” said Bishop Massa, “and here is a counter-statement that religions must work together if they’re to build bridges of peace, to enhance human solidarity, to care for our planet earth and do many of the things that are a part of Pope Francis’ agenda. So it’s very fitting that he chose to come to this place.”--8:03 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:03:23 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-C. J. Hughes--Clutching a Lucky Ticket-The United Nations General Assembly hall awaited the pope and other leaders Friday morning.-Ida Zenda, 37, who is from Zimbabwe and now living in New York, was one of the lucky ones in her office at UNICEF, which is around the corner from the United Nations. She had scored one of 800 tickets to see Pope Francis through a lottery, she said.She held up the square piece of paper as she waited early Friday morning in a line hundreds of people long to enter the United Nations, where the pope is scheduled to speak around 10:20 a.m.“Visit of His Holiness Pope Francis I,” the ticket said in blocky letters.“He’s the highest religious figure here on earth. It’s the closest you can get to Jesus,” said Ms. Zenda. She had once seen Pope John Paul II through a window at the Vatican. “I’m hoping this is a little closer,” she said.Some national pride was kicking in, too. From her office window, Ms. Zenda could see that the United Nations had hoisted the flag of Vatican City next to the one from Zimbabwe, usually the last in line in the plaza along First Avenue, but not today.--8:02 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:02:44 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)- Emma G. Fitzsimmons-Transit Authorities Recommend Subway and Commuter Rail-In case you somehow missed the message from city officials this week: you should use the subway while Pope Francis is in town on Friday.Don’t think about driving in Midtown Manhattan. Some bus routes will likely be diverted near his events. The subway and commuter rail lines are the best options, though trains may be more packed than usual.New York City’s subway, which carries as many as 6 million people some days, will be running as usual and serving all stations, although some stairways and entrances near Central Park and Madison Square Garden might be closed for security or crowd control, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority says.In an effort to minimize the crowds, the authority’s chairman, Thomas F. Prendergast, urged New Yorkers to consider working from home on Friday if they had the option and to use the subway outside of the morning and evening rush hour if possible.“The M.T.A. is prepared for the challenges presented by Pope Francis’ arrival in the city today,” Mr. Prendergast said on Thursday. “Mass transit will be the best way to get around during his visit, and while our customers should expect some crowding and possible delays, we are prepared to get everyone to their destinations safely and efficiently.”New York’s Transportation Command Prepares for the Papal Disruptions--New York’s Transportation Command Prepares for the Papal Disruptions-By EMMA G. FITZSIMMONS-The officials at New York’s Joint Traffic Management Center have two messages about Pope Francis’ 36-hour whirlwind visit: Take mass transit, and they’re ready for anything.
7:53 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 07:53:49 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Andy Newman--Poll Finds Support for Pope Among Non-Catholics, Too-It’s not just Catholics who like Pope Francis.A poll released this morning found that about 60 percent of Protestants and Americans with no religion had a “favorable” or “very favorable” opinion of the pope.The Quinnipiac University Poll also found that 61 percent of Catholics, Protestants and those professing no faith agreed with the pope’s call to do more to address climate change.An earlier New York Times/CBS News poll of Catholics released on Sunday found that 79 percent of Catholics approve of the direction the pope is leading the Catholic church. The Quinnipiac poll found Catholics rating the pope even higher, with 90 percent giving him a “favorable” or “very favorable” review.The Quinnipiac poll surveyed 1,832 adults between Sept. 17-21 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2 percent. Americans of non-Christian faiths were not included in the poll results.--7:45 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 07:45:16 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-What is Pope Francis Doing in New York Today? -Pope Francis begins his first full day in New York Friday.The United Nations General Assembly convenes at 8:30 a.m. The pope is scheduled to address world leaders around 10:20 a.m.Francis leaders a multifaith service at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at ground zero at 11:30 a.m. The pope will arrive in a golf cart and meet with a small group of first responders, survivors and victims’ families on the plaza outside. Then he will go into the museum for a memorial service with representatives of various faith groups.Francis heads to East Harlem at 4 p.m. to visit with third and fourth graders in a classroom at Our Lady Queen of Angels School. He will also meet with immigrants and refugees, including day laborers and unaccompanied minors, in the school gym.At 5 p.m. the pope will be part of a procession through Central Park, along West Drive from 72nd Street to 60th Street. Tens of thousands of tickets will be given out through a lottery. Tickets were given away through a random lottery and are no longer available.Francis celebrates mass at 6 p.m. at Madison Square Garden, where 20,000 people are expected.

10:35 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:35:34 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope: Do Not Be ‘Nations United by Fear and Distrust’-An ethics and a law based on the threat of mutual destruction – and possibly the destruction of all mankind – are self-contradictory and an affront to the entire framework of the United Nations, which would end up as “nations united by fear and distrust”. The pope drew applause for his words on nuclear arms control.
10:31 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:31:15 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope: Honor ‘Natural Difference Between Man and Woman’-The defense of the environment and the fight against exclusion demand that we recognize a moral law written into human nature itself, one which includes the natural difference between man and woman and absolute respect for life in all its stages and dimensions Pope Francis’s reference to the “natural difference between man and woman” and respect for “life in all its stages” were nods at the church’s opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion.
10:28 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:28:26 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Mankind Must Not Place Itself First, Francis Says-Creation is compromised “where we ourselves have the final word… The misuse of creation begins when we no longer recognize any instance above ourselves, when we see nothing else but ourselves.”
10:22 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:22:44 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope: Do Not Ignore Those in Poverty, Deprived of Rights-It must never be forgotten that political and economic activity is only effective when it is understood as a prudential activity, guided by a perennial concept of justice and constantly conscious of the fact that, above and beyond our plans and programs, we are dealing with real men and women who live, struggle and suffer, and are often forced to live in great poverty, deprived of all rights.The pope drew applause again when he called for a balance between economic activity and social justice.To enable these real men and women to escape from extreme poverty, we must allow them to be dignified agents of their own destiny.
10:18 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:18:33 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pursuit of Material Prosperity Hurts the Weak, Pope Says-A selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged, either because they are differently abled (handicapped), or because they lack adequate information and technical expertise, or are incapable of decisive political action.
10:15 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:15:40 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Francis: Man is Not Authorized to Abuse Earth, Much Less Destroy It-We Christians, together with the other monotheistic religions, believe that the universe is the fruit of a loving decision by the Creator, who permits man respectfully to use creation for the good of his fellow men and for the glory of the Creator; he is not authorized to abuse it, much less to destroy it.
10:14 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:14:04 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Harm to Environment is Harm to Humanity, Pope Says-[Man] possesses a body shaped by physical, chemical and biological elements, and can only survive and develop if the ecological environment is favourable. Any harm done to the environment, therefore, is harm done to humanity.The pope drew applause when he linked harming the environment with harming humanity.
10:12 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:12:08 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Francis Invokes a ‘Right of the Environment’-A true “right of the environment” does exist, for two reasons. First, because we human beings are part of the environment. We live in communion with it, since the environment itself entails ethical limits which human activity must acknowledge and respect. Man, for all his remarkable gifts, which “are signs of a uniqueness which transcends the spheres of physics and biology,” is at the same time a part of these spheres.
10:08 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:08:42 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope Calls for Recognition of the Rights of All--The pope addressed the United Nations General Assembly.To give to each his own, to cite the classic definition of justice, means that no human individual or group can consider itself absolute, permitted to bypass the dignity and the rights of other individuals or their social groupings.
10:03 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 10:03:55 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Pope Praises United Nations--Many grave problems remain to be resolved, yet it is clear that, without all those interventions on the international level, mankind would not have been able to survive the unchecked use of its own possibilities. Every one of these political, juridical and technical advances is a path towards attaining the ideal of human fraternity and a means for its greater realization.The pope, in the opening of his speech to the United Nation’s General Assembly, praised the United Nations as a check on mankind’s excesses.
Pope Francis Addresses the U.N.: Live Updates-9:52 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:52:44 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Benjamin Mueller-Fighting Off Rats to Glimpse the Pope-Two hours before the security gates opened at Central Park, and six hours before the pope was set to arrive, the line at one gate stretched more than two blocks long.Nancy Diaz, 57, of the Bronx, had been waiting outside since the curtains fell on last night’s showing of “Hamilton,” where she works as an usher. She tried to sleep at the entrance to the park on 60th Street, but rats drove her onto a bench in Columbus Circle.“They were brutal,” she said of the band of six rats. “They were jumping, shrieking, making noise.”“But it’s the pope.”--9:51 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:51:19 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-David W. Dunlap-Gathering in Stillness at Sept. 11 Memorial--Water. The sound of falling water, a lovely veil to mask the impatient routine of Lower Manhattan, is the loudest noise now at the north pool of the National September 11 Memorial plaza.This is the route Pope Francis will take when he arrives at the World Trade Center with Cardinal Timothy Dolan: along the south side of the north pool, which marks the site of the north tower.About 1,000 people — victims’ family members, survivors, first responders, neighbors — are gathering around the south pool for a glimpse of the pope. A kneeler has been placed at the pool’s edge so that he can offer a silent prayer; a large candle nearby pays homage to Pope Benedict XVI, who lit a candle at bedrock during his 2008 visit.In contrast, the perimeter of the north pool will be kept empty of all but security personnel. It will afford the pontiff an opportunity — if he cares to avail himself — to contemplate the mighty vastness of the void, almost an acre in extent, where thousands of people were working on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.It will give him a chance to listen to the falling water.--9:47 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:47:21 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-A Former Mayor Remembers--9:17 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:17:12 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Somini Sengupta--Thanking Everyone, Including Maintenance Workers--“Dear friends, good morning,” the pope began in his address to 350 United Stations staff members shortly before 9 a.m.--“Viva Papa,” went up a cheer.The pope called the workers “in many ways the backbone of this organization” and made a joke about “all those who could not be here today,” and with a pause, “because of the lottery.”For 350 spots to see the Pope in the building lobby, 4758 staffers put their names in the hat.True to form, the pope thanked not only field staff and interpreters but also “maintenance and security personnel.” He spoke slowly in English. He asked the non-believers in the audience to “wish me well.” A round of laughter and applause went up.After his remarks, he prayed over a wreath that symbolizes those those who lost their lives in service.--9:08 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 09:08:01 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)--Francis Thanks U.N. Staff for Their Work-The vast majority of the work done here is not of the kind that makes the news. Behind the scenes, your daily efforts make possible many of the diplomatic, cultural, economic and political initiatives of the United Nations, which are so important for meeting the hopes and expectations of the peoples who make up our human family.— Pope Francis addressed the staff at the United Nations Friday morning, before his speech to the General Assembly--8:56 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:56:03 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Sandra E. Garcia--After Breakfast, He Blessed Their Rosaries--Inez Hernandez was glowing as she left the pope’s New York City residence on East 72nd Street. Her smile was wide and her eyes were bright.“He blessed us,” said Dr. Hernandez, 54, who runs a medical practice in Washington Heights. She and her husband were among a group of 25 Catholics who had been invited to meet the pope this morning.“We arrived at 6 a.m. and waited for him to have breakfast,” she said. “He is a very humble and simple man, he listened to us, and you can see he is human, he is reachable.“It is a privilege I never expected, to meet him and hold his hand,” she added, her clutching her hands towards her chest.Dr. Hernandez said she had received a message from Pope Francis while she was in Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, asking all Catholics to pray for Syrian migrants.“Even someplace so remote, we received the message,” she said. “I let him know that his message reached us and we prayed.”Dr. Hernandez said she was not allowed to snap a selfie with the pope but was promised that official pictures would be sent to her. Pope Francis then blessed everyone in attendance and their rosaries. Dr. Hernandez pulled them out of a side pocket of her navy blue jacket. In two crystal boxes there sat mauve colored rosary beads. She smiled as she showed them.“He blessed these,” she said.--8:51 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:51:10 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-The Pope Is in the Building--8:24 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:24:16 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Meanwhile Downtown--8:22 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:22:18 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Patrick J. Lyons--Even the Insects Are Praying-A praying mantis rode into New York on a Long Island Rail Road train.--On the 6:45 a.m. Long Island Rail Road express from Port Washington to Penn Station, a conductor collecting tickets called attention to an unusual 3-inch-long stowaway from the insect world.“A praying mantis!” he said.“Of course it would be, with the Pope in town,” a woman sitting nearby chimed in with a smile.--8:12 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:12:27 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Laurie Goodstein--Francis to Meet Families and Speak at 9/11 Memorial-The pope will visit the National September 11 Memorial later this morning.One of the most delicate appearances that Pope Francis will make on his trip to the United States is the service with leaders of other religions at the September 11 Memorial, the very site where the towers of the World Trade Center were brought down by extremists who believed they were acting in the name of Islam.So Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York put the planning of that event in the hands of Bishop James Massa, an auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Brooklyn who formerly served as executive director of the secretariat for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.In an interview this week, Bishop Massa said that the sensitive issue is how to give religious leaders of many faiths an opportunity to pray for peace, but “do it in a way that is respectful of individual religious identity.”“There’s really no common prayer that we all agree upon,” said Bishop Massa. “So it’s not praying together, but being in the presence of the other praying. That’s the distinction we make – being in the presence of, with great respect and great appreciation for, the other.”The plan is for the pope to meet the families of 9/11 victims and first responders outside near the Reflection Pool at the memorial, then descend into the museum’s Foundation Hall. There he will be greeted by a dozen representatives of six major world religions — Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Very intentionally — some of the leaders are women. Also in the hall will be more than 550 guests from those six faiths and many others, said Bishop Massa.The pope will offer an inclusive prayer, then five of the religious leaders will offer prayers or meditations on the theme of peace, first in their sacred tongues, then in English. After each meditation, he said, a Buddhist bell will be rung.Francis is expected to give a very brief talk, maybe only five to seven minutes, Bishop Massa said. A cantor will sing a piece reminiscent of a Kaddish prayer, a youth chorus will sing, and Cardinal Dolan will invite all the participants to offer one another “a sign of peace” in whatever way they feel comfortable, be it a handshake, a bow or a hug.“It’s the place where a terrible act of violence happened in the name of religion,” said Bishop Massa, “and here is a counter-statement that religions must work together if they’re to build bridges of peace, to enhance human solidarity, to care for our planet earth and do many of the things that are a part of Pope Francis’ agenda. So it’s very fitting that he chose to come to this place.”--8:03 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:03:23 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-C. J. Hughes--Clutching a Lucky Ticket-The United Nations General Assembly hall awaited the pope and other leaders Friday morning.-Ida Zenda, 37, who is from Zimbabwe and now living in New York, was one of the lucky ones in her office at UNICEF, which is around the corner from the United Nations. She had scored one of 800 tickets to see Pope Francis through a lottery, she said.She held up the square piece of paper as she waited early Friday morning in a line hundreds of people long to enter the United Nations, where the pope is scheduled to speak around 10:20 a.m.“Visit of His Holiness Pope Francis I,” the ticket said in blocky letters.“He’s the highest religious figure here on earth. It’s the closest you can get to Jesus,” said Ms. Zenda. She had once seen Pope John Paul II through a window at the Vatican. “I’m hoping this is a little closer,” she said.Some national pride was kicking in, too. From her office window, Ms. Zenda could see that the United Nations had hoisted the flag of Vatican City next to the one from Zimbabwe, usually the last in line in the plaza along First Avenue, but not today.--8:02 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 08:02:44 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)- Emma G. Fitzsimmons-Transit Authorities Recommend Subway and Commuter Rail-In case you somehow missed the message from city officials this week: you should use the subway while Pope Francis is in town on Friday.Don’t think about driving in Midtown Manhattan. Some bus routes will likely be diverted near his events. The subway and commuter rail lines are the best options, though trains may be more packed than usual.New York City’s subway, which carries as many as 6 million people some days, will be running as usual and serving all stations, although some stairways and entrances near Central Park and Madison Square Garden might be closed for security or crowd control, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority says.In an effort to minimize the crowds, the authority’s chairman, Thomas F. Prendergast, urged New Yorkers to consider working from home on Friday if they had the option and to use the subway outside of the morning and evening rush hour if possible.“The M.T.A. is prepared for the challenges presented by Pope Francis’ arrival in the city today,” Mr. Prendergast said on Thursday. “Mass transit will be the best way to get around during his visit, and while our customers should expect some crowding and possible delays, we are prepared to get everyone to their destinations safely and efficiently.”New York’s Transportation Command Prepares for the Papal Disruptions--New York’s Transportation Command Prepares for the Papal Disruptions-By EMMA G. FITZSIMMONS-The officials at New York’s Joint Traffic Management Center have two messages about Pope Francis’ 36-hour whirlwind visit: Take mass transit, and they’re ready for anything.
7:53 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 07:53:49 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-Andy Newman--Poll Finds Support for Pope Among Non-Catholics, Too-It’s not just Catholics who like Pope Francis.A poll released this morning found that about 60 percent of Protestants and Americans with no religion had a “favorable” or “very favorable” opinion of the pope.The Quinnipiac University Poll also found that 61 percent of Catholics, Protestants and those professing no faith agreed with the pope’s call to do more to address climate change.An earlier New York Times/CBS News poll of Catholics released on Sunday found that 79 percent of Catholics approve of the direction the pope is leading the Catholic church. The Quinnipiac poll found Catholics rating the pope even higher, with 90 percent giving him a “favorable” or “very favorable” review.The Quinnipiac poll surveyed 1,832 adults between Sept. 17-21 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2 percent. Americans of non-Christian faiths were not included in the poll results.--7:45 am ETSep 25, 2015-Fri Sep 25 2015 07:45:16 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)-What is Pope Francis Doing in New York Today? -Pope Francis begins his first full day in New York Friday.The United Nations General Assembly convenes at 8:30 a.m. The pope is scheduled to address world leaders around 10:20 a.m.Francis leaders a multifaith service at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at ground zero at 11:30 a.m. The pope will arrive in a golf cart and meet with a small group of first responders, survivors and victims’ families on the plaza outside.
