Study is prayer...


Wouldn't it be niiice to study in this environment every day? Wow, lucky me! Ciao tutti and welcome to my school, the Dominican University in Rome. It's the famed PONTIFICIA STVDIORVM VNIVERSITAS A SANTO THOMA AQVINATE IN VRBE (ANGELICVM).

What other school has signs up in Latin in the library which read: SILENTIUM...NON PERMITTITUR INGRESSUS...NON PERMITTITUR FUMARE...AD USUM PRIVATUM STUDENTIUM...FACULTAS THEOLOGIAE/PHILOSOPHIAE, ANNUS ACCADEMIUCS..., etc.?

Gee, sometimes, it is fun to be me! Actually, though, even though the school is a nursery for future Vatican high-flyers, I am "oh so humble as I know I ought to be" and have no such ambitions!
