    Expression of gratitude

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 7:30 pm

    Thanks to all of you who have been reading regularly and posting comments.  Your participation makes the blog work more fun and rewarding. 

    I am a relative newcomer to the Catholic blogosphere (though I am a battle hardened vet of the internet after a decade of moderating the COL Forum), and therefore I am still discovering features of the software I use.

    For example, today I just noticed in my admin area a list of some of the links that are coming into this WDTPRS blog.  Today I found, Rifugio San Gaspare (which I hope is named for the great and impressive St. Gaspare del Bufalo… when shall we see his like again), and Mercy and Mary and the always interesting The Cafeteria is Closed and man with black hat and A (little) Light from the East, to name but a few.  I have links to some interesting blogs on my left sidebar also. 

    I wish I could acknowledge you all and I appreciate the fact that some of you have put me on your blog list. 

    Also, please know that if you post a comment, and it is the first time you have done so, it is held in a queue for approval.  (This keeps the spam down).  After you get a comment approved, your comments should post right away.  That is why there was a delay, in case you were wondering.

    In any event, thanks all around.

    The Chapel of the Sabine Farm

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 7:07 pm

    As some of you might remember, I am presently in the USA at "the Sabine Farm", as I like to call it. Spring is really happening, and this is my LAST day here. Today I will be starting some herbs in the greenhouse so that when I get back in a couple months for the summer, they will be ready for serious cooking.

    I thought I would share a photo of the inside of the chapel here wherein I say Mass each day. It is a pleasure to have a few people there. They like the older form of Mass and I am happily able to help them out that way, since I have faculties from the Holy See to use the 1962 Missale Romanum.

    So, while there are wonderful compensations in Rome, here is a view of another good reason to miss my Sabine Farm.

    To give you an idea of the building itself, here is a photo from the summer time in the evening:
