HAVING THE MORNING TO EXPLORE ST. PETER'S: (Left) β€œIt is such a holy, beautiful place. Seeing the tomb of Pope John Paul II, and having a holy hour in the Blessed Sacrament chapel is something I will never forget.”

DAY TWO IN ROME IT RAINED LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. (Next Page) "After spending the morning touring St. Peter's I went back to the hotel to change my shoes before we started the tour of the Scavi. I was soaking wet by the time I got back to the hotel. I asked the front desk if there was any way I could dry my clothes, because a puddle was literally forming around me! They gave me a super old blow dryer! hahaha! I put on some boots and dry clothes, and on my way back down stairs I was praying Hail Mary's and was pleading with God to protect me from the rain. I turned the corner, and it was still downpouring, but the hotel had put out umbrellas! I felt so loved by God at that moment! The entire way back to St. Peter's I was thanking and praising God.”
