As mentioned in an earlier post, Colorado Springs Diocese seminarian Jim Baron, who is studying at North American College in Rome, was selected to read the second reading during Midnight Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI at St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Eve. Thanks to Paul Haring at Catholic News Service for getting his Vatican contact to snap a picture of this. You can see a larger version of the photo if you click on it.
