Benvenutti a Roma!

These were the welcome greetings we have received since arriving in Rome. Asher and I will be here until June 5 when we will be traveling to Ireland for the All Ireland Rosary Rally. 

We arrived safely yesterday, albeit with a very tight connection through Dublin. Thank you to those who prayed for us. Those prayers were heard. We carry with us rosaries, Children's Rosary materials and Children's Rosary flags (thank you, Mary Ann). 

We are excited to be in the seat of the Catholic Church in these days leading up to Pentecost. Yesterday we attended Mass at St. Peters after leaving the airport and went through the Holy Door open for the Jubilee. I prayed in a special way for the members of the Children's Rosary during Adoration at the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Peter's Basilica. 

Today we met with the EWTN team in Rome and did a segment for their Vaticano show about the Children's Rosary. 

The view behind us during the interview was perfect. After the interview we darted into St Anne's Church just in time before our friend Fr. Anthony was leaving the Confessional. He so kindly translated the Children's Rosary book into Arabic. 

We have found a lovely farmers market just a block from where we are staying which has been our sustenance. All the yummy vegetables are in season now.
