A typical day of wonder in Rome: I coasted off the Ponte S. Angelo only to stumble into this baroque hulk of a church which turns out to be open only on Sunday mornings. Then, in the rear of the church, to my surprise, I read this marble plaque which recounts the baptism of Papa Pacelli! So, I kissed the font and thanked Our Blessed Lord for the gift of his baptism. Pacelli received the irrevocable mark of baptism here and my prayer was that we can be worthy heirs to now carry the torch!
