I hurtled through the Midtown Tunnel and I am on the Van Wyck on the way to JFK.
And so the pilgrimage to Rome begins.
UPDATE
I had a note that a couple of priest friends are also heading to Rome. Different flight.
Meanwhile… ah the allure of the international flight.

Nothing like a trip through my native Queens to cap a trip to NYC. Godspeed!

Prayers for a safe, enjoyable and fruitful pilgrimage to Rome!
Blessings asked for your pilgrimage to Rome. And keep us posted!
They say no one’s ever beaten the Van Wyck ….
“Meanwhile… ah the allure of the international flight”: happily, lots of time to read about Dante, this time round, from the look of it.
As a frequent flyer, Fr., I am supremely confidant you will watch more of this than you think you will after the first few minutes. Yes it’s 6 hours long: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UsMZRl71Zo4
Even though I’m a frequent flyer, I once admitted to a bishop that I’m scared of flying. “You’re crossing the Atlantic?” he said. “Then don’t be scared. Be bored.” Yes, that too. Anyone who can view a long flight as an opportunity has my respect and admiration.
