Friends,

It is hard to write this column. Harder than I thought it would be. All I can say this week is that Rome is still here. People are still showing up for mass, every day, in hundreds of churches. Ordinations are happening, solemn vows being taken, prayers being offered to God. The world keeps moving, and Rome is still much the same as it always has been.

I committed to write this column every Sunday, but it is hard.

So much good goes on here. But much of it is the same, week in and week out. But maybe it’s worth dwelling on the normalcies of Roman life… not just singular events.

Let me think about it.

A domani…
