In Rome, sunrise was at 06:52.
Sunset was at 19:37.
The Ave Maria Bell is listed in the 20:00 cycle.
Things are going along at one might expect.
I did have a bit of a surprise yesterday, however.
As you may know, there is a pew at The Parish™ with my name on it and a request for prayers for me. It is a consolation. However, dear friends who are heading over the Rome as you read this, contacted The Parish™ and had the same done for my mother. I came into the sacristy to ready for Mass the other day and saw it, waiting to be taken into church. Words fail.
Here’s mine.
Here’s mom’s. A few pews back.
I am quite moved by the kindness of my friends, both at home and abroad, at The Parish™.

I have no interesting food to relate, since I’ve been eating very little and staying in at that to save money.
It will be a really busy and long day tomorrow, so I will turn in early. I’d like to catch the Artemis shot, however. Were I back in the states, I would have had a great view.
Awww … how cool is that. That’s awesome Fr. Z.
I am looking forward to the Artemis launch too. I went to junior high and high school in Houston close to NASA’s back gate. A few friends fathers worked in mission control during Apollo and some worked the Space Shuttle days in the 1980s.
It is beautiful. When priests of their own volition offered Masses for my deceased parents, I was lost for words too.
The news about the pew is outstanding.
