ROME 2 – Day 1: Exorcisms, guts, and Roman altars

The pilgrimage group having dispersed in Venice, we made our way to Lake Garda simply to rest up and have a nice view. That was gloriously accomplished. Now it’s time for the third phase. I headed back to Rome for my own pilgrimage: Summorum Pontificum.

Having taken possession of my quarters for the week, I saw to the essentials. First, I blessed Holy Water and, with it, the room.

Then I had to get groceries, including the essential coppiette.

The Campo.

And this, friends, is what an altar should look like. No?

So, I’m back in Rome.  I have quite a bit to do in the next few days, but I’ll also have time to kick back, as well.  Tonight a met a priest friend for supper and caught up on all sorts of good goings in the City.

It’s still fairly early.  Perhaps I’ll watch a movie on my laptop.
