Two weeks and counting

In preparation of my Sabbatical in Rome I have set up this blog so that anyone that is interested can have a chance to follow the kinds of things that are happening.  As I count down the days of preparation that I have before I fly to Rome I know that there is a lot to do.  Most of that preparation is prayer.  I need your prayers and I am praying that God will use this experience to mold me more and more into the priest he needs me to be.
