The pilgrimage group having dispersed in Venice, we made our way to Lake Garda simply to rest up and have a nice view. That was gloriously accomplished. Now it’s time for the third phase. I headed back to Rome for my own pilgrimage: Summorum Pontificum.
Having taken possession of my quarters for the week, I saw to the essentials. First, I blessed Holy Water and, with it, the room.
Then I had to get groceries, including the essential coppiette.
The Campo.
And this, friends, is what an altar should look like. No?
So, I’m back in Rome. I have quite a bit to do in the next few days, but I’ll also have time to kick back, as well. Tonight I met a priest friend for supper and caught up on all sorts of good goings in the City.
It’s still fairly early. Perhaps I’ll watch a movie on my laptop.

Oh, the ever-defiant Bruno statue…
Not according to Bishop Borghetti of the Diocese of Ablerga-Imperia.
His comment “I don’t like to celebrate Mass on a False Altar”
He has ordered all Altars to face the people……….
I hope to read Fr. Z’s comment on this……
I have stuffed cotton in my mouth so as not to say unkind things.
[I don’t think he has the authority to do that. But he might be able to get away with it through intimidation and abuse of power.]
Forgive me, Father, but I covet your access to that delicious-looking salami!
Looking forward to the pilgrimage too, I arrive in Rome tomorrow. :)
