Hey everyone. Today is the last day that I have in Rome for the Program. Yesterday was the Vatican Museums, they were exhausting and I am surprised that I was able to hold it together and make it through them completely. Just as I was warned, the sistine chapel was over packed and I have seen the images so much it was a let down. I really liked the modern art though that was before the chapel itself. No one wanted to look at it really and they all just marched through those areas so it was quiet and not crowded at all. Going through those museums it was easy for me to understand a smaller church and hope and want for a smaller church. Because there really was not a whole lot of reverence for these places but rather a packed full spectacle.
I also was able to attend mass at St. Peters which was a wonderful experience and to take communion there is awe inspiring. The mass was interesting in that it was a mix of italian and spanish novus oro and an older latin mass. I really enjoyed it.
