At 06:04 the sun rose over Rome. At 
20:02 the sun will sink past the horizon.
The Ave Maria Bell…. poor thing… 20:30.
Thank you, Lord, for this 122nd day of this year of Salvation.
It is the Feast of St Jeremiah the Old Testament Prophet. St Joseph the worker displaced Sts. Philip and James, Apostles. The Month of May is dedicated to Mary.
The Mary altar in church was beautiful today.
Also, it had the only image of St. Joseph in the church. From now on there will always be fresh flowers from Pippo in the Campo de’ Fiori.
On the way to the airport this morning, I spotted this jasmine in Trastevere near Santa Dorotea.
There was virtually nobody in lines at check in or security. I strolled through, practically.
From curb to lounge in maybe 20 minutes. And they have some decent offerings. The French oven is even Le Creuset.
We will board another half hour or so. Very little traffic today since it is “labor day”. No lines. Decent lounge. So far so good.

God Bless Pippo (Campo de’ Fiori) for looking after Our Lady.
Safe journey, Fr.
Look forward to October/November in Rome, again.
God bless you on your journey, Father; may the angels carry you all the way safely.
**Fr. Z, your contact systems are not working, neither the email nor the “ask father.” I post and submit, receive the email to verify my address, click on the link, and no matter how many times I do it I am brought to the message “Whoops! Something went wrong.” Please see my original email below:**
Hi Fr. Z, just wanted to let you know that the past couple of days there has been trouble with your RSS feed. For example, today’s post “ROME 24/4– Day 41 (0): Se vedemo & My View For Awhile.” I get the usual 1 or 2 sentences and then the hyperlink “… Read More ?” I click on it, my browser opens to the http address but it is a blank screen. Refreshing does nothing. I go back to my RSS reader (Outlook) and click on the second hyperlink “View article…” and the exact same thing happens.
To read the article I have to manually type in the wdtprs website and then click on the entry heading Rome 24/4…
Sorry to trouble you with this, just wanted to let you know.
Thank you
Fr. Matthias, OSB
Father, I’ll be traveling to Rome soon and would like to know if there are English speaking priests hearing confessions in Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini?
Father, as always, thank you for taking us with you on your Paschal pilgrimage! I always feel like I’ve been to Rome thanks to your sojourns, and I always feel a sadness when you have to leave. Prayers for your Rome-ward intentions!
