Where I take a respite: the Riviera del Conero!



An early June morning in Italy? What a treat! While alternating between the pool and the Adriatic Sea, I was thinking the whole day about the episcopal motto of His Holiness Pius X, of happy memory. After all, he was my confiration saint! Just over 100 years ago, on ascending the throne of Peter, Pius X addressed to the world an encyclical letter, in which he summed up, in four words taken from St. Paul, the whole object of his pontificate: "Instaurare omnia in Christo" (To restore all things in Christ). Let the legend live, gentlemen!
