Hi I'm Albert! I'm on my way to Rome, Italy to talk with the Pope and learn about Christian prayer.

Albert met the pope at the largest Catholic church in the world. The pope thanked him for attending the mass - a christian prayer ceremony.

He explained to Albert when worshiping God, Christians have a conversation with him, as if they're talking with a friend.

During the mass the Pope recited verses from the bible, thanked god for things he has done for us and ate the ritual Eucharist.

The Pope explained to everyone that there is many types of prayer to help us strengthen our relationships with ourselves and God. Then he asked everyone to pray for Albert and his safe and exciting travel around the world to show what intercession prayer is.

Than you God for this amazing opportunity. Please keep me safe during this journey.

After Albert learned about the five types of prayer (adoration, confession, thanksgiving, petition and intercession), he decided to thank God and ask for guidance on his journey.



After the mass the Pope and Albert sat on a park bench to discuss the mass. He gives Albert a rosary and explains that the beads are used to count prayers and the crucifix is used to remember Jesus and the sacrifice.

Albert thanked the Pope for the help and the gift. He learned so much from this trip and was so excited to continue his journey.

Welcome to Puja! That is what we Buddhits call our prayer ceremony's.

Albert's next stop was Indonesia, where he met a monk to teach him about Buddhism. Albert brought an offering for the temple to show his gratitude.

The monk told Albert that they don't have a God that they pray to. Instead, Buddhists focus on understanding suffering and true happiness.

He tells him that during Puja Budhhists thank Buddha for his teachings, repeat mantras and make offerings.

Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.

Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.

Albert and the monk repeated mantras and meditated together. The mantra helped Albert gain happiness and peace. It was a very enjoyable experience that he will cherish forever.
