We learned this morning that we will now be singing the SUNDAY 5:00 pm Mass at St. Peter's, not the SATURDAY 5:00 pm Mass. Actually, this is not a bad thing. We now have a freer Saturday and Sunday can be spent wearing white and black. You are already experiencing one of the joys of Roman culture: flexibility. Be prepared for anything. It's still early!
Upon checking the Vatican website www.vatican.va, you'll find the Vatican Television Service. Papal liturgies and audiences are broadcast on the site and stored there for a few days or weeks. Just one more way for folks at home to see you.
Earlier in these posts I suggested that it may not be necessary to heed the three hour advance arrival at the airport. With all the flight cancellations and rebookings, it might be good to once again adhere to that three hour schedule....Better early that late.
If you are interested in what goes on behind the walls of the Vatican, I recommend two reputable and respectful websites: whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com and vaticaninsider.com. Vatican Insider has wonderful information about the new Cardinals and the "consistory": the gathering of the world's Cardinals. You can find copies of Pope Francis' speeches and other interesting information at the website.
To be clear, there was no post yesterday. But see you tomorrow....
