It is difficult to believe that one-quarter of the sabbatical program here at the North American College is over as of today. We lose 5 guys who were only here for this quarter, and gain 9 priests who arrive over the weekend for the second quarter of conferences.
It is now mid-afternoon as the sun shines outside. It is a beautiful day in Rome. I am writing this posting now because I am having dinner tonight with 2 Jesuits from the New England Province, Scott Brodeur and Mike Rogers. Scott teaches here at the Gregorian Pontifical University, and Mike is a student who will be ordained in June of this year.
As I wrote last night, the attached photos were taken on my walk yesterday afternoon. I hope you enjoy them.
