Yes I'm still in Rome (a week longer then was planned as our Superior General asked me to work on a specific project for/with him) but will be returning to the states this Friday/Saturday.  The experience here, of working with immigrants, the homeless and the poorest of the poor has been exhilarating, sobering, and humbling in ways I can't even quite put in words yet.  And through it all, I am even more impressed with Pope Francis than I was before, truly the Vicar of Christ.  I am sad in leaving tis work, but I have also missed home and look forward to getting back to my community, my students and my clients - and a bit more visits here to NCR and those of you I so value.  And BTW - when did this marvelous option of "mute" appear???  An Act of God to be sure........and of course the first person I used it for was that someone who uses 17 and hasn't seen the sun in many, many years.  So pleased to hear from you Sarasi1....is AnonAJ still around?
