Home from Rome

Back from a wonderful, prayerful, beautiful trip to Rome.  I'm catching up on things here, but will post soon.  I just wanted to start with a few images from the trip.

Talk about standing on hallowed ground.  The early martyrs of Rome left a lasting impression on me.   St. Peter's  stands on the site of Emperor Nero's "circus."  The oval where Christians were murdered for entertainment.  Their burial sites were revered over the ages and beautiful basilicas and churches were erected to house their remains.

Saint Peter's Tomb:

Saints Cosmas and Damian:

Ora pro nobis!

More to come...
