Part II...
It has been a most wonderful experience being here for the Holy Week liturgies.  I was able to attend St. Peter's Basilica Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and for the Easter Vigil.  For Easter Sunday Mass we went to a parish church in Rome I have a special affinity for, as it also was once a monastery for an order that many decades ago converted to the Latin Church from the Anglican.  It is a beautiful yet simple church and residence that sits on a hill overlooking the city below.  It was a wonderful liturgy and the parish members were all over us, wanting to hear about why we were here and what we were doing.  I was invited to dinner at our Superior General's residence/offices and had the opportunity to meet and talk with other members of my order from various countries.  So I end the Holy Triduum with deep gratitude for this opportunity and the experiences that it has provided me.  I pray that all of us carry the lessons of Lent and the spiritual renewal of Easter forever.
