  While walking through the never ending terminal in Frankfurt\u2026.I thought we were going to walk to Rome after what seemed like a three mile journey from our arrival gate to our new departure gate\u2026.as a young seminarian I was in Germany for a couple of months studying German.<\/p>\n

I have many fond memories of those days in the early 1960\u2019s. I will share with you, believe it or not, that I and everyone else were wearing lederhosen in those days\u2026but, do not try to find those pictures because I assure you that the negatives have been destroyed\u2026.LOL!<\/p>\n

Our flight out of Germany was scheduled for 12:15pm, which was 6:15am Boston time, but a passenger who checked baggage did not board the plane. So, the airline had to remove their bags from the plane\u2019s cargo area before we could depart. Our departure for Rome was not until 12:50pm and we arrived in Rome at 2:15pm. I have only had a short time to unpack, freshen up and say mass because I am about to leave to make the three hour drive to San Giovanni Rotondo, where I will celebrate the feast day Mass for St. Padre Pio.<\/p>\n

I will share more about my personal thoughts of Padre Pio and will also make sure there are pictures from the Shrine to share with you in upcoming posts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
