Pines of Rome...

Greetings from the Caput Mundi (the Capital of the World)! This is the Center of Christendom...the Epicentre...the Cradle of Christianity! It is Blessed Rome, the Eternal City...the Beacon of Civilization! When will you make your next pilgrimage to Rome?

In Rome alone one realises the eternal and the universal. There one lives at once the whole of history, and is projected into the future. Rome is a pinnacle whence everything sets out and to which everything returns. It has been said that there is no great act, no great man whose beginning, end or some part of his life was not in Rome. Rome has moulded us, it is she who has breathed her spirit into Europe and the New World and it is she that has been the central hearth-flame of the Christian West!
