ROME 26/4– Day 36: Seeing red

In the Eternal City we had the rising of the sun at 6:08 and its setting at 20:08.

The Ave Maria cycle changed to 20:30.  For the Curia.

It does that.  But they don’t ring it.

It rings today at The Parish at 20:38.

Don’t forget the great Six Hour Clock app that has an Ave Maria Bell setting.  Honestly, it is a kick.  HERE

You all know about the Six Hour Clock and Rome, right?  Right?

Today in the Vetus Ordo we celebrated St. Paul of the Cross.   Tomorrow, since it is St. Peter Martyr, The World’s Best Sacristan™ had to swap out all the white for red which the priests left from the morning round.

In this shot you see red vestments which some of you readers donated to The Parish™.  What a pleasure to see them used.  I am so proud of how you rushed to help.  It is a joy to see them.

Mine (with my arms) is on the other side of the sacristy.  These are for visitors.

I made spaghetti “al seminario” yesterday.   So good with these ingredients.

I think these would look good in my apartment… if I had a decent place to put them.  I need a far brighter BOQ.

On Sunday I went to church a little early to do some surgery on my surplice.  The hook on these stupid clasps keep breaking, so… enough.  I replaced them with ribbons I can tie.

A little Latin for you today.  Go ahead and transcribe it in the combox and get at it.

White can mate in 4.
