I could almost feel the Holy Spirit thru the TV as they showed all of the pilgrims. According to EWTN and Raymond Arroyo they had a report from the police in Rome, they counted 800,000 people WOW! so happy you received communion. theresa EHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213841528077465387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-62565880629858965112014-04-27T16:27:11.932-04:002014-04-27T16:27:11.932-04:00Oh, and when I heard that PAPA BENEDETTO was con-c...Oh, and when I heard that PAPA BENEDETTO was con-celebrating the Mass I was overjoyed!!!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!! He is/was an amazing pope and theologian and man! HOW COOL THAT YOU GOT TO SEE HIM, albeit from a distance!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!<br /><br />So, will the boys officially be learning Italian now?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? If so, we need to Skype our kids to "practice their Italian" with each other! :) My daughter is eight, so they'd probably have all sorts of things to talk about! :) Blessings, Kristamrsarchieleachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11180788981013569539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-62346609108600701042014-04-27T16:22:49.401-04:002014-04-27T16:22:49.401-04:00So amazing, Mary!!!

I just met up with an old childhood friend who has fully embraced the secular mindset of the world - overpopulation etc and has a complete lack of joy and happiness. It was such a sharp contrast to the joy I saw in your post here. What a gift we have in our faith - I am forever grateful to God for leading me to His Church! Thank you for keeping us in your intentions. Praying for a safe trip home for you all!Lucy Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949693982053777748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-27289689172569520902014-04-27T15:38:15.857-04:002014-04-27T15:38:15.857-04:00I can't wait to see the canonization Mass on T...I can't wait to see the canonization Mass on TV this evening - EWTN is re-airing it for us here in the States. YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO BE THERE FOR THIS WONDERFUL, AMAZING EVENT IN THE LIFE OF OUR CHURCH!!!!!!! I can't imagine HOW you both did it with the kids - it would be hard enough as adults to navigate all that on such little sleep and in "less than comfy" conditions... But then again, I did such things in my "younger years", but BEFORE kids! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for giving us just a glimpse of all your amazing travels in Italy here on your blog!!!! It's been so wonderful to read all your adventures and "soak it in" just a bit as if we all were right there with you all! Enjoy your last day in Roma tomorrow and SAFE TRAVELS HOME!!!! PS - I HOPE you found that bathroom!!!! It must've been a challenge with the kids and bathrooms with such crowds?!?!?!?!?? I can't imagine.....!! :) Blessings, Krista<br />mrsarchieleachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11180788981013569539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-7249633738728138162014-04-27T14:50:21.711-04:002014-04-27T14:50:21.711-04:00I second Mary W.'s comments.

The twin preemies are doing great - so much so that Joseph came home yesterday and Patrick is coming home today!!!!! Their grandma said thank you.
