Prayers needed

I need to ask all my friends on the blogsphere to pray for a quick intention. Tomorrow we are all supposed to be coming back from Rome. Today my friend had her wallet stolen on a crowded bus, and her passport was in it. The embassy can replace it, but not today, which means she'll have to get her flight changed. That might be difficult to do, because one can't always get an international flight in a hurry. So far things have been difficult. So pray that she gets home safe, sometime soon!

Thank you all, and wish us all a safe trip. Once I'm home I'll get to some serious picture posting.

The Pope and I

For all who wanted pictures of what I'm doing . . . here's what I'm doing. Chris's hand is in the way, but that's me anyway! I love B16.

Pictures of me

In response to popular request:

Me by Rocca Maggiore in Assisi.

La Bocca della Verità, the Mouth of Truth. You stick your hand in, and if you have an insincere heart the mouth bites it off. I still have two hands!

Me at the Benedictine monastery in Subiaco. Matt is in the background.

Me with Coriel and Charlemagne in Subiaco. John was there too, but he was holding the camera.

There: happy? That's all I have, for the present.

So long then: I'm going to Ireland this weekend!
