Mucho Pax!

Assisi has been wonderful!! Our time here is almost through and then we head off to Rome. It has been a beautiful visit. The weather hasn't been great, but the sun has shined a little bit each day.

Yeasterday I was in awe of seeing the tunic's of Francis and Clare. Something about seeing these articles of clothing that were so old and worn by these wonderful saints, just amazed me. I stood there with my mouth open for a long time. I didn't want to leave!

Today we went to LaVerna mountain, which is where St. Francis would often go for 40 day retreats. This is the mountain where he was when he received the Stigmata about 2 years before he died. It was a beautiful place with a beautiful view! It was cold and foggy when we arrived, but when we were outside as part of the tour at one point, the sun came out and the view of the valley was magnificent! Again, I just wanted to stay there and soak in the grace and the peace!

This is where I stood and enjoyed the view:

Tomorrow we are going to St. Mary of the Angels church where the Portciuncula is, which we have the replica on campus of. I plan to go sit in the back corner like I do during my holy hours at the Port on campus!

Oh and just a quick word about the food.....AMAZING!!!! The homemade pasta and the homemade sauce that we had last night...I could have eaten it forever!! I think I need to move here to learn some more recipes and cooking skills!

I will post pics as soon as possible. Until then, I have posted some from online of where I have visited already.
