She’s had a very busy week, and has fantastic photos – read this post as an intro, then go back to the main page and enjoy:

It was a week in which, as one of our house members said, "I was proud to be Catholic" and "so happy for the gift of faith"! This past week is one that I feel really encapsulates the heart of what it means to be Catholic, to be Christian – to live this Lenten week in Christian community, to receive the Blessed Sacrament every day with so many of my family in Christ, to go to confession and spiritual direction, to visit so many churches in Rome, and pray for so many people (you too!) at the tombs and relics of so many saints and martyrs (and JP too!), to serve others in charity, to Adore our Lord in the Sacrament, to pray the Angelus in full chant with the Norbertines at the Angelicum, to sit in the St. Peter’s Square with thousands of others waiting to pray the Rosary with the Holy Father, and yes, being with the Holy Father and joining him today as he offered the one true, complete Sacrifice of Christ on Calvary at the Holy Mass today — WOW. We are still in the Lenten desert, but the Lord has so blessed us these past days, I feel that He is preparing us all to follow Him more closely then ever – the build up for Easter has begun!
