We are today visiting Major Basilicas. First St Paul’s outside-the-walls.
We are going to have a visit to the excavation where St Paul’s tomb was recently authenticated by the architect/archeologist who conducted it.
UPDATE
John XXIII’s manuscript for his first speech of Vatican II, delivered today! In 1963.
UPDATE:
We had some lunch …
For me the bet mozzarella I have tasted in years.
To the scavi under St Peter’s.
I left the group for a moment to use my Vatican Bank ATM card and ran into Msgr. Marini. We had a nice chat. Kind fellow.
we will be at Sant’Andrea della Fratte for Mass this evening. Bp Morlino is joining us.
UPDATE:
After a really packed day, and Mass at Sant’Andrea della Fratte (Bp. Morlino celebrant) we retired to a nearby place to eat.
It’s Friday. Some clams.
Some fish.
A stroll to bed.
Tomorrow should bring us, God willing to Norcia and Assisi.
