Words cannot even begin to explain what we just experienced—something truly unfathomable. Just an hour and a half ago, I returned from Saint Peter’s Square, where over 100,000 people gathered to pray the rosary together for our Holy Father, Pope Francis.
Having this opportunity to revisit Rome, and to do so during the Jubilee Year, is truly a privilege. I must say, this trip was not the original plan—but as usual, God had other plans. When my mom tore her Achilles tendon in her right leg, requiring surgery, our planned trip for October 2024 had to be postponed. Hoping to reschedule the trip for Divine Mercy Sunday, I tried to see how far out we could push the dates. (Side note: never use CheapoAir—you get exactly what you expect!) The best option available was the second-to-last week of February. Not ideal, but pazienza—patience.
