Comments on: Covering Rome By Foot & Celebrating Mass At The Chiesa Nuova Church http://www.cardinalseansblog.org/2006/09/24/covering-rome-by-foot-chiesa-nuova-church/ Cardinal Seán shares his reflections & experiences.

Do you spend time in Adoration? I am fairly young and I started going to Adoration about 5 years ago. I wish more people knew the benefits of going to Adoration. Our parish has had perpetual adoration for over 10 years. My faith continues to increase the more I go and I feel stronger. I think this is an incredible opportunity for the Catholic Church in many respects but I think it is underutilized overall. Thanks for sharing your opinions with me. Regards, Rebecca (Is it possible to keep me last name from the post. I am a very private person) Thanks again. Hello Cardinal Sean-

Conhecí o Cardeal por ocasião do Consistório e é uma pessoa muito cordial e fala muito bem o português. Com ele estava também seu secretário Pe. Brian, com o qual fiz uma boa amizade.
Muitas felicidades!!

Ojalá haya más obispos y cardenales que se animen a tener sus propios blogs. Yo se lo pienso proponer al mío, Monseñor Jesús Sanz Montes, ofm, obispo de Huesca y Jaca, que escribe muy bien.
Las fotos que nos está poniendo en el blog son preciosas. Ruego a Dios para que usted se lleve a América lo mejor del carisma de San Pío Pietralcina.

Dios le guarde

Not to mention, I would love for them to see the beautiful pictures of the Padre Pio Shrine and also to read some of your entries about the history of some of these beautiful people/places in Rome. I hope you continue to enjoy your time in Rome. Please extend our warm wishes to Fr. Brian as well. Safe travel...God Bless! Colleen Donohoe Cardinal Sean,

You made a few comments on these Roman churches (Nuova, Gesu). As the week goes along, could you reflect back on the new church at San Giovanni Rotondo? I'm not fishing for comments on "controversial" contemporary architecture, but am rather interested in your opinion on the edifice precisely as a Catholic shrine -- does it serve the liturgy well? Did it facilitate your role as celebrant? Thanks for all that you do and are. Tom Ryan Your Eminence,

I'm glad you're visit is going so well. I'm curious though - why did you celebrate Mass with your back to the audience? Couldn't a small portable altar have been brought in to avoid any semblance of neo-tridentinism? Also - I'd love to hear your reflections on why it was so important to "say mass". Couldn't you have just attended the Mass that was beginning as you arrived? Cheers and blessings, John Mark Hi Cardinal sean –

It's great to read his posts and see the photos. The only suggestion I have is to move most of the new photos into an online Gallery rather than keep them all on the main page. You've added a lot of photos, which I enjoy, but would rather see just a few on the main page with a link to see more. This is a great start, and I hope there will be a lot more from Cardinal Sean, even after this trip has ended! I’ve been enjoying Cardinal Sean’s Blog and his trip in and near Rome.

Are they the original uniforms or have they changed over the years? Very colorful for sure. I would imagine that security at the vatican has been beefed up majorly after the threats by certain islamofascists. I hope that is the case and that they are checking everybody closely before letting them in. The Chiesa Nuova altar is quite amazing to look at. Gorgeous.

We had a wonderful time in Rome staying at a convent near Campo De Fiori where we met a British priest (Fr George Dangerfield) who generously showed us around the Vatican area...hopefully one day we will return. Also spent a week in Assissi (a very spiritual expereince for me) Thank you for the pictures and comments about Padre Pio - he is someone I dont know a lot about - other than the stigmata - but obviously a lot of other people do. Enjoy your time and peace. Good Evening Cardinal Sean

Also we think your motto says something like "Who will have spoken with him easily," but we're sure we don't have that right. Would you please tell us the English translation of yourmotto? Thank you, Allison in Illinois P.S. The photographs you've posted are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your trip. We like your coat of arms and would like to know what the rest of the symbols mean.

We are having you constantly in our prayers and we send you our love. We saw you yesterday in an interview on Padre Pio Tv and radio website! Today at 10am, in the Basilica of the National Shrine, we have mass in honor of our dear Padre Pio. The Cript Church was completely full. We remember all the Capuchins and give thanks to our Lord for all the franciscans, especially for you, who are a true Padre for all of us and a holy priest.
