Cousin Carlo de Lellis met me at the station in Caianello on Saturday evening. I celebrated Mass at 8:00 a.m. in our church of San Michele for the repose of the soul of my brother Michael; November 25 is the anniversary of his death. Returned to the church to hear confessions at the request of Don Salvatore, the parish priest.
In the afternoon: a wonderful Sunday pranzo with Carlo, Nora, Ettore, Giovanna (Bambolina), Gabriele, and Denise.
Back to the church for Eucharistic Holy Hour with the parish in the afternoon. After a good night's sleep in a very comfortable bed (see the photos below) I returned to Rome on Monday morning for a very busy day of appointments and visits.
His Excellency, the Bishop of the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live in adoration before the Most
Blessed Sacrament, in a spirit of thanksgiving and intercession, that he
might make reparation before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. At the same time, he is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental
support in their pursuit of holiness.
