My son, a 2002 graduate of Villanova and a die hard hoops fan, is a Special Agent with the USSS. He was the lead agent assigned to the Pope's overnight stay at St. Charles. Early last week he asked my wife and I if we had anything that we wanted the Pope to bless. A table was set up inside the seminary for the seminarians and employees of St. Charles to lay out items they would like blessed. My wife opted for a few pair of rosary beads while I wanted a few lottery tickets and the 2015 - 2016 Villanova schedule. My son thought my request was a little tacky. As a result, we now have some blessed rosaries, no winning tickets and no sure ticket to The Final Four. Somewhere along the way I failed as a father in teaching him the important things in life.
