Quick Update

Yesterday we were able to pray Evening Prayer with the Holy Father and many other people in the packed St. Paul's Basilica outside the walls. Pope Francis is a pretty popular guy.

After Evening Prayer, Cardinal James Michael Harvey took us out for supper. His Eminence is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. However, he has lived and worked in the Vatican most of his life. Among many other things, he was the Prefect for the Papal Household for both blessed John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

If taking us out for supper wasn't enough, he offered to give us a tour of the Apostolic Palace. We met him today at 3:30, and he showed us around for 2 1/2 hours. Nice tour. However, we still only saw a little bit of the Palace. It is huge! A lot of things happen in this establishment. We are very grateful to the Cardinal for his generosity.

Happy Sunday!
