Once in a while miracles happen and life can be a bed of roses preaching and breeding peace in the uniquest unions.

History was made on Sunday when the wheels of Pope Francis’s flight from Rome touched down in Abu Dhabi. He has since attended the Presidential Palace, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and spoke at an interfaith meeting at the Founder’s Memorial.

Francis met with Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the Presidential Palace. The three discussed “enhancing cooperation” and “important initiatives to achieve peace,” the crown prince tweeted.

In a handwritten message in the palace’s Book of Honor, the Pope thanked his hosts for their “warm welcome” and invoked “divine blessings of peace” on the people of the UAE.
The Crown Prince, in turn, gifted the Pope the act of notary dating back to June 22, 1963, for a donation of land to build the first church in the UAE.
