Great to meet up with a brother priest from the Diocese of London. Father Timothy Kelly, OCSO is from Amherstburg. He has served the Trappists as Abbott of Gethsemani (Merton was his novice master) and now is part of the General Council here in Rome. Wonderful to meet him and wish him well because he just got re-elected to serve for six more years here. He makes being holy look easy.

All Saints Day

Some of the boys out from the Canadian College, celebrating the Vigil of All Saints Day.  "We should go trick or treating at the big house at the end of the street."  "They say the old guys who live there are very nice."
