Day 7. I continue to pray for you in Rome.

A relic of the foot of St. Mary Magdalene at the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini.

Say what you want about us crazy Catholics, we’ve got some great history!

Then there’s this sculpture of the baptism of Jesus. It’s a good day

Oops. Day 6.

Day 5. Rome. If you’re seeing this, I’m praying for you.

This is the church of Sant’Ivo. In the center of Rome. Borromini designed that beautiful top/steeple.

Day 5 Rome. If you're reading this, I'm praying for you.

A glimpse of the suffering on earth & a symbol of Heaven awaiting us.

The statue below is in front of the offices of the Sant'Egidio Community in Trastevere. They have an amazing outreach to the poor, centered in prayer.

Day 4 in Rome. I continue to pray for you. This is the container that held the skin of the apostle Bartholomew when he was martyred by being skinned alive. Happy Monday! 😉

Day 3. Still praying for you in Rome. Enjoy the birds and the jasmine - at least the visual of the jasmine.

@ComteCyprien @StPatsMaynooth Would you message me? Adjunct or full time?

I visited Maynooth several years ago.

His contemporary (also later a canonized saint), Filippo (Philip) Neri derided him and told him that since he couldn't manage the basics of his life, he'd never succeed.

Thankfully, Filippo was wrong. 8/8

If you're reading this, you're in my prayers as I combine work and pilgrimage in Rome.

This crucifix is a must-see for anyone who has a mission sense to their life, including the quiet missions that rarely get recognized (ahem...parents, etc.). 1/8

For everyone who thinks that their past precludes union with God, Camillo, as he was getting ready to start his order, was also what we would today call a gambling addict. He literally lost his shirt. 7/8

Ciao from Rome! Excited to be here for work and to participate in next week’s Mensuram Bonam conference at the Vatican.

For me, every trip to Rome is also a pilgrimage. If you’re reading this be assured of my prayers.

Started last night with Mass at Sant’Agostino. 1/2
