The Jesuit Curia and other Photos (Rome, IT)

This photo was taken on the roof top of the Jesuit Curia by Charles Lasrado, SJ.

I have returned to where I left off before writing about and posting photos of yesterday's Chrism Mass at St. Peter's Basilica.  On Wednesday I visited the Jesuit Curia at the invitation of Fr. Charles Lasrado, SJ.  I am attaching to this posting photos of my visit.  I am also including photos of my visit that same day to the Church of Santa Maria dell' Anima (the "German Church" of Rome) and a few photos of St. Peter's Square as the Pope was finishing his General Audience for youth.

This sign means that the Jesuit Curia is considered to be located within The Vatican State.

And now back to church! The next series of photos were taken inside the Church of Santa Maria dell' Anima, which is located near the Piazza Navona.

The Pope concluded the General Audience, and these kids are leaving St. Peter's Square.

And the adults are headed into the garage to get their cars after the General Audience.

As I complete this posting, it is the end of the night of Good Friday.  These devotional stairs (sacra scala) are in a building next to the Jesuit Curia and just a stone's throw from St. Peter's Square.  Many people climb these stairs on their knees!
