Today is Saturday after Ash Wednesday. The Roman Station is Sant’Agostino ad sanctum Tryphonem.
Within the church itself is a painting by Caravaggio, a fresco by Raphael and also, the real prize, the tomb of St Monica, mother of Augustine!
Today is Saturday. Perhaps it is a good day to go to confession.
Thought: “If you don’t want your footsteps to sink in the earthly quagmire, don’t come down from this Cross.”

The quagmire of earthly news today – again after a Friday speech type of thing from high up – should be used to downs – is detrimental to my being steadfast. See-saw. These are five good minutes. Thank you for working for the Lord and so, us.
Monica is my patroness! If I ever get to Rome, Sant’Agostino will now be high on my list of places to visit. Thank you so much for scattering delicious crumbs from your bounty of knowledge for us each day. :o)
Is Sant’Agostinos’ church near the Vatican, Father Z? If it is, I think I may have seen it during three of my visits. I stayed at the same hotel (1977, 1979, 1981), called The Michelangelo, and whenever I and my fellow-pilgrims made our way to St. Peter’s, I remember seeing a fairly good-sized church on a corner about a block away from St. Peter’s colonnade.
And thank you for these ‘delicious crumbs’, as inara said; we certainly do appreciate your hard work to instruct and encourage us!
