My Anglican colleagues use the phrase "crossing the Tiber" to describe someone who is changing allegiance from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism. Today I'm also crossing, but in a much more literal sense.
The Bose community take Monday as a 'day off' from hospitality (which I think is very sensible) and so politely asked if I could make myself scarce for the day. I was happy to oblige, so I hopped on an early morning train to Rome.
Never been to Rome before, and it's everything I'd been led to believe: monumental, awe-inspiring, ancient, noisy, chaotic, hot and exhausting!
I've only got a short day here, so won't get to see everything. But I'm intending to treat it as a continuation of my pilgrimage, so I'll be looking for beautiful places and opportunities to pray in them.
First stop, Vatican City.
