About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

What exactly is in this picture? It is beautiful whatever it is.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s the stone on which Saint Gregory slept, in his former monastic cell next to the church of San Gregorio Magno al Celio in Rome.
@gaudete, thanks for enlightening me! I appreciate it. God bless.
