Set the world on fire!

Christian Unity Week

Saints Peter and Paul, the two great Apostles of Rome!

Left: David, studying Greek before Vespers (cut him a break, we are in the midst of exams...blah).

Friends: A.J. and Matthew, heading into St. Paul's Outside the Walls for Christian Unity Week Vespers with the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI on
the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul.

Sunday, I decided to go to Holy Mass
at the Basilica of St. John the Lateran...

The Basilica of St. John the Lateran is the oldest and ranks first among the four Papal Basilicas or major basilicas of Rome (having
the cathedra of the Bishop of Rome- the chair of the bishop, because it is
Rome the bishop is Pope Benedict XVI). This beautiful basilica is just a 10 minute walk from where I live.

The Lay Centre at Foyer Unitas, students, after the annual ecumenical celebration at Centro Pro Unione, located in Piazza Navona, attached to the Church of St. Agnese in Agony. In this picture we are standing in the very same room where Vivaldi unveiled his Four Seasons, and is the very same place where on every Thursday of the Second Vatican Council, Joseph Ratzinger, Karl Rahner, John Murray, Yves Congar, Marie-Dominique-Chenu, and Walter Kasper, briefed attendees on the council.

Fountain of the Four Rivers (an incredible work of Bernini!) in Piazza Navona.

Anna, Robert, and I after we each had some sort of public speaking or singing role in front of the leaders for the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity and the World Council of Churches.
