ROME 23/05 – Day 28: Pentecost Sunday

Roman sunrise was a long time ago at 0537.

Roman sunset was also quite a while ago at 2038.

The Ave Maria Bell: still 2100.

It is Pentecost Sunday.

So much to say about the day. I am really tired.

There was a lovely Mass in church. Here is taste.

In the afternoon we had Vespers and Benediction. Here’s a shot before the moment.

Don’t you wish you had this in your parish? You should.

After sweating through two shirts and cassocks, dodging around vehicles covering the Giro d’Italia,…

I headed to the Suburra – stomping ground of the juvenile Julius Caesar – for snails.

As one does.

If you are wondering.  You use toothpicks to get the critters out.

This is Romano di Roma.

With that, I make a plea for prayers for my mother.  You benefactors… my last Masses in Rome are to be offered for my Roman Donors.  Thank you.

What? No chess?

No chess today.  Except… just… buy some chess stuff.

Stay tuned for news about the incredible antique organ that is about to be unveiled!
