The Pope, God's architect and Barcelona's sky

Source Summary

It cannot be said of Antoni Gaudí that even in his dreams he would have imagined that, a century after his death, the Pope would come expressly from Rome to bless the tallest tower of the Sagrada Familia. Because if Gaudí had one thing, it was that he dreamed big. Very big, the biggest, what they told him seemed impossible, to be exact. As in the first reading, Gaudí saw "a new heaven and a new earth". Today there is no temple in the contemporary world that can compare to the Sagrada Familia. And that is why, today, at the foot of his tomb, all the authorities have gathered, the Catalan, the Spanish and the Roman ones, led by the Holy Father who kneels there and lights a lamp. It was a hundred years ago that he was buried under the title of the architect of God.
