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.
