The story of Margaret and her friend the Pope continues with Book 3 in The Pope's Cat series. This adventure has Margaret experiencing the prayers, penitence, liturgy, and excitement of Holy Week in the Vatican and Rome—from the joy of Palm Sunday in St. Peter's Square, to foot-washing in a Roman prison, the solemnity of Good Friday, and the expectation of Easter. She learns about Jesus and the meaning of his Passion, visits important new places such as The Sistine Chapel, where she seems to pray beside the Pope, and the Roman Colosseum, where she learns that many early Christians were martyrs for their faith. Margaret's friends, the Swiss Guards, are watching over her, and she manages to eat (she still loves to eat!) some interesting foods, even though it's Holy Week. Oh yes, and she sleeps a lot.

This is a work of fiction. The author has used the real titles of Pope and Holy Father in the sense in which they are normally understood: for the leader of the Roman Catholic Church who resides in Vatican City; but no historical Pope or Holy Father, past or present, is intended.

Snore! The Pope heard Margaret the second he walked into the apartment. He was just returning from morning Mass in his private chapel.
Margaret was curled up in a ball on the couch by the window, her head resting on palm branches the Pope left there a few days ago after the long, joyful procession through St. Peter’s Square on Palm Sunday.
Margaret was exhausted. Cats are often, you know, exhausted!
It has been nearly a year since the Pope adopted Margaret, and Margaret adopted the Pope. They live together in the Pope’s apartments in Vatican City, the tiniest country on earth.
