Rome is, in many ways, the common birthplace of every child of Western civilization. The daily life of everyone reared in our civilization is permeated with the life of Rome. When one studies the history of Rome, though, they read of it being sacked one time after another.
It has been said that the Church is strongest when she is on the cross. With every persecution, there is a flowering of Christianity. St. Thomas à Kempis remarked that many were glad to share with Christ in glory, but few were willing to share in His sufferings.
In this great contest of today, let's join the winning team and be team players for Jesus Christ and His Holy Church! Oremus (let us pray)!
P.S. Isn't this a niiiiice photo of myself and the Vatican Basilica on the Ager Vaticanum?
