Milan


Hi guys! 
Great to have so many comments.. i love them!

Happy Birthday Lyanne on this the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes!

What a beautiful trip thus far.  Just arrived at the
 hotel  after a very long day.  

We crossed over the snow covered Alps to get to Milan... absolutely spectacular! 

After arriving at the airport we headed to central Milan to the Cathedral- Il Duomo.  what an incredible place...they told us that this is the 2nd largest Cathedral with the capacity of 40,000 people... truly a site to see.




We had a great lunch at the galleria and then returned for the Holy Mass.  


It is absolutely freezing... when i was standing in line to go into the Cathedral i was thinking to myself... "oh good... let's go inside it will be warm"... yeah right! it was colder inside then out! I didn't have on all my layers... Tomorrow i will be ready for the cold.


The statue behind me is of Leonardo (not a ninja turtle or Dicaprio) ...Davinci. 
Standing in front of the Cathedral: Beatriz, Indigo, Me, Mother Adela, Sister Ana Margarita.  

Tomorrow we head to Pavia where the remains of St. Augustine are kept. 
(I promise to post more pics...)

Ciao

  2. Now, dear father, you can understand why your pastor was fully layered, gloved, capped AND vested at the funeral of Don Giussani in that very Duomo nearly four years ago this very day.
    saluti ai tutti!
