ROMA La Pietà di Michelangelo
2 April 2000 (#12)
San Pietro, Citta del Vaticano
Saint Peter's, Vatican City
"CIAO"
This Sunday morning I attended the 10 o'clock mass; received Communion; and at
noon went out into the square to hear The Pope's message & blessing. I
understood nothing - since I don't speak Latin (or Italian). However,
after extended viewing of the sculpture "La Pieta" (mounted near the
entrance) I understood SOMETHING and then wept for the slain Jesus
... for the first time in my life.
