A day brightener from the snowy Eternal City

These are my good friends, the great Tyburn nuns, enjoying the snow in Rome.

I remember one year, back in the day, when we had three feet of snow. All the pipes of all the colleges broke, with all their water tanks, all exposed on the roofs, all morphed into gigantic frozen water falls… for weeks and weeks…

These great nuns are at the heart of the Church, praying away for all in sundry in the countries in which they reside, and the whole world, and… and… for priests, not to mention, in a rather special way, yours truly.

Thank you. May the Lord reward you, continuing to bless you according to the perfect intercession of the Immaculate Conception.
