My View For Awhile: back again – and a Rome Shot (1199)

From the presepio at SS. Trinità dei Pellegrini in Rome. The Pope stopped for a visit.

For those of you in Columbia Heights, that’s was the Rome shot

This is not from the presepio….

It was bracing cold for a couple of days and remarkably refreshing. Now, it’s time to go, hopefully with no adventures- especially like a few days ago.

Meanwhile, back in Rome the Archconfraternity that St Philip Neri founded at Ss. Trinità hosted a meal for street people and the poor.  They do this regularly.  Right now they have to do it at the little oratory called the Caravita, next Sant’Ignazio.  That’s because the octopus-like Community of Sant’Egidio has the Archconfraternity’s own refectory next the church in their tentacles and they cling to it, even though they have no need for it and it is underused.   Thanks.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

UPDATE

AND NOW THE DELTA GLITCH

At the gate they started pre-boarding and then got people off the plane. The announcement: maintenance.

Next, they said: maintenance.

Next, they said: We have to get a different plane.

Next, they said: Once we get another plane it’ll be another hour after that.

I might get home tonight. Maybe.

Any readers in Atlanta?

    How amazing is Catholicism! Therese is an incredible saint. Met her a few times throughout life as I have heard from many others who have had the same.
