An orionine voice in the desert

Today here in Rome begins the Jubilee of teenagers, a meeting that brings together more than 70,000 adolescents between 13 and 16yo from around the world, with the theme "Growing merciful as the Father." The Jubilee began this morning with the confessions and then participants will pass through the holy door and the night a big meeting in the Olympic Stadium. Tomorrow at 10:00 am will have the Mass with the Holy Father and the meeting ends on Monday. This morning 150 priests were in St. Peter Square to hear the confessions and around 11:00am to the surprise of participants Pope Francisco down to St. Peter square puts the stole and begins to hear the confessions of the young people. Actually here in Rome we always have a surprise with Pope Francis.

After four years without publication on the blog, I came back to share with you so many beautiful things that happened in my life here in Rome. Gradually I will publish my experiences here in Rome, Italy and elsewhere. I was missing of you and I hope to keep you guys updated. This is my last year here in Italy and I want to show you guys a bit of Italian wonders, my day by day and of course the delicious Italian dishes. A novelty is that besides the blog in Portuguese and English also have the blog in Italian.  A very affectionate hug to all of you. Marcio Calais
