I pray you're enjoying a happy, holy Easter. Here is the latest update from Rome:
Happy Easter to all of you back in the USA!!!
The past couple of days have been crazy but amazing! On Good Friday, we had a retreat in the morning for the boys and then went to St. Peters to wait in line for the Liturgy of the Passion. We were able to get awesome seats for this and some of the boys were able to get very close to the Pope as he processed out at the end.
Yesterday, we were very busy! We visited St. Mary Major, St. John Lateran, the catacombs, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and many other things.
Today, Easter Sunday, we got up early so we could get a good spot in line to get into St. Peters Square (sorry...international keyboard that does not seem to have an apostrophe) for Easter Sunday Mass with the Holy Father. Well, we did get good seats, front row!!! It was a beautiful Mass...some of the boys even made it on the huge screens that they set up in the square for those who are far away. It was a beautiful liturgy. Afterwards we went to Trastevere for a nice sit down lunch as a group and the boys are now playing sports. Tomorrow is Assisi and then we head home. We have been keeping all of you in our prayers, and look forward to seeing everyone Tuesday night! I hope you are all having a blessed Easter!
