On this Sunday when we saw the Inaugural Mass of the Pontificate of Leo XIV, the sun rose over Rome at 5:45.
After we celebrate Vespers tonight, our Roman evening will grow golden to the setting of the sun at 20:29.
The Ave Maria Bell is slated for 20:45.
It is the Feast of the martyr Pope John I (+256)
Here is the puzzle, right away. It isn’t forced, but there is a race.
White to move. Can you see it? Explain!

Lately, I’ve been to a couple of usual places for usual fare and so I have usual shots of usual things.
Last night Pasta alla Norma (mine this time).
Today at lunch one person had angolotti alla norcina.
I skipped pasta and went to the pheasant. Wow.
These guys have game.
About 3 hours before sundown, on my way to Vespers. The light is magnificent.
Can’t catch in photos.
I was celebrant for Vespers and Benediction. We sang the prayers “Oremus pro pontifice Papa nostro Leone…”. I was terribly moved by it. Alas, I have no pics of Vespers.

Angolotti alla norcina looks interesting, once I found out what it was (the picture looks a bit like creamed chipped beef which in the USAF we called by a less flattering name). I might try to make it.
