Happy Diocesan Feast Day to everyone!
I hope that all is well for everyone in the Diocese. Today has been a relaxed day, taking some time for rest, prayer, blogging, and a leisurely afternoon walk. One of the priests from the NAC is here visiting, and so he will be saying Mass later for the group of us here... Although my Italian is getting better, it's not quite to the point where I can always follow Mass in Italian, so his being here is a pleasure twice over.
Here in Italy, the national holiday of Ferragosto corresponds with the Feast of the Assumption, so had it fallen during the week, it would be a day off for everyone. Since it's on a weekend, it doesn't affect classes, but it did lead to an excellent meal at Pranzo.
I cannot ask enough, especially today, to continue to pray to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Assumption for vocations, present and future, in the Diocese.
