Our visit to Paris and Roma is planned. Our "bags are not packed, yet we are ready to go" and anticipating our travels. We look forward to attending Mass at the refurbished Notre Dame in Paris. Then we will go see Blessed Carlo Acutis. He's becoming Saint Carlo at the Vatican! Saint Peter's Square will be filled with kids for the Jubilee Year. We can't wait to hear the joyful words
and nicknames they deliver.
We went to the Canonizations of John Paul II and John XXIII. That's when we learned that boys and girls were calling Saint John Paul "JP2 " and Saint John "J23." We have to admit using with "JP2," just like the kids. Adults and fans of Saint John Paul often call him JP2, and we have heard Priests kindly
smile and laugh at the endearing nickname.
When in Rome ..., I'm always buying lots of medals to sell or share as lagniappe. I also look for fun Sacramentals to share or decorate. For the past 20 (or more years), I've collected all sorts of iconography in Rome and Assisi, Siena and Venice, Medjugorje, Fatima, Loreto, Avila, Lisieux, and
Lourdes. The pilgrimage places are always so exceptional.
Most of you know what I do with many of the items I buy. If you're new to the mailing list, you may not be aware, unless you've been filtering through some of our prior Newsletters. Most of the previous Newsletters, the good and also the lame, are included on the web site. You can use the search bar to read about some of our excursions.
