Leaving for Rome

I tried to stay awake as much as possible last night in preparation for the time zone difference. My bags are packed and I am ready to go. I spent this morning with my students wrapping up their group projects and now I am off to the Seattle Airport to board my flight to Frankfurt and then to Rome. I will try to post some stories and pictures soon of the environment and activities happening in Rome. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord bless us this week as we draw near to celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday and the Beatification of JPII...
