The Pilgrims have returned home and have many pictures and stories to tell. Father Keyes is staying in Rome for a few days of vacation. Sunday I will be spending with Msgr. Lopes, and the rest of the week I will be spending with some friends and seminarians. Pictures and reflections on the vacation part of this journey can be found over at Father Keyes' Blog
 I will be attending the the opening Mass of the Year of Faith. The picture is of my ticket to the celebration. I am writing this at 7:30am on the morning of October 11, although now it is late evening on the 10th in California. Know that as I join in the celebration with the Holy Father at the Tomb of the Apostles, I will be holding as a special intention, the people of St. Edward Parish in Newark, CA, especially that this Year of Faith be a time of renewal for us, That we may know Jesus better and make him better known among our families, and in our city.
The Year of Faith begins today. The Holy Father has asked us all to look more closely at the Council documents, and not at all the commentary that seems to obscure what the Council was saying. Here is a great opportunity to renew our faith. Click Here
Today we had Mass at the Abbey of San Felice, the site where the Missionaries of the Precious Blood were founded in 1815. Then we had a festive Pranzo (lunch) at Ristorante Rifugio San Gaspare. 
Here the pilgrims gather for a picture in the 4th century Chapel of San Felice.
Traveling South this morning for a visit to Sonnino and then back to Albano.
