Hesperia: Birthday Pictures
http://meredithhesperia.blogspot.com/2007/04/birthday-pictures.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2007. The reading was from Acts and it focused on the "shadow of Peter.". An excerpt from the Pope's homily. In the first Reading of this Sunday, we are told that in the early days of the nascent Church, people brought their sick to the public squares, so that when Peter passed by, his shadow could fall on them. To that shadow, they attributed a healing power. The banner in this picture says Holy Father We Catholics In China Love You! Buon cumpleano, Benedetto! Subscribe in a reader.

Hesperia: March 2007
http://meredithhesperia.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 18, 2007. Take me back to Assisi. Assisi is the loveliest town in the world. It's as elvish as Lorien, as grave as Gondor, and as miniature and cheerful as Hobbiton. I was sorely tempted to throw my wallet and my suitcase over a cliff and live there as an anchoress for the rest of my life. San Stefano by night. This tiny church is where we had Mass during our retreat. Several of the major sites in Assisi had these strings of doves overhead. View from piazza of St. Clare's basilica. Belloc h...

Hesperia: Chestnuts: An Exposé

Monday, May 21, 2007. To try some.". Sarah declined to follow me, but encouraged me all the same. The chestnut-selling man took his bamboo tongs and dropped the chestnuts one by one into a cone of brown paper. After paying him and setting out for the Spagna metro stop, I started to evaluate the snack out loud, dictating my impressions to the long-suffering Sarah. This is how it all broke down:. Chickpea fanatics in paradise! This is Jenny Baer. I'm glad you're enjoying Rome! You NEED to get pizza at "Il ...

Hesperia: Good Friday remembered
http://meredithhesperia.blogspot.com/2007/05/good-friday-remembered.html
Sunday, May 20, 2007. I went to Tenebrae at San Gregorio ai Muritori, the FSSP church in Rome. It's squirreled away down a narrow alley, without a facade to give it away, and it's a tiny little place - probably wider than it's deep. But as you can see from the picture, "tiny" doesn't mean "Spartan" in Rome. It's strange that Tenebrae, office of darkness that it is, should be sung in the morning. Especially on a golden Roman mid-morning in April. Tennyson courtesy of Sheila.). With its 15 candles was ready.

Hesperia: Ascension
http://meredithhesperia.blogspot.com/2007/05/ascension.html
Monday, May 21, 2007. Is this not an arresting image for the feast of the Ascension? Michael Liccione used it last year. On his blog, Sacramentum Vitae. I like it because it looks so. Dantean, as if the sphere of the fixed stars has partly burned away and you can see Christ's shadow through the Empyrean. It is a very beautiful picture. Sincerely,. Javier (from Madrid, Spain).

Hesperia: Wordsworth Rap
http://meredithhesperia.blogspot.com/2007/04/wordsworth-rap.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Okay, so Sheila. Make up a Gerard Manley Hopkins rap, but we never made it into a music video advertising the beauties of Snowdonia. But an English tourist bureau has made a video. Of a giant squirrel strolling around the Lake District and performing a rap version of "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud," in a surreal North Country accent. The last frame flashes a mysterious exhortation to "respect Wordsworth.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Sunday, April 29, 2007. How did it come to this? I'm leaving for the airport in 15 minutes. This can't be happening. Surely there will be a freakishly localized ice storm over the airport and I'll have to stay here for another six weeks? It was awesome; thanks for everything. O Roma nobilis orbis et domina,.

Hesperia: The blog is dead; long live the blog!
http://meredithhesperia.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-is-dead-long-live-blog.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2007. The blog is dead; long live the blog! In case you haven't guessed, I've been back from Rome for two months now. Much as I like this blog, it has fulfilled its purpose as a journal of my Roman adventures, and it must come to an end. I won't be returning to Basia Me. However. For "it, too, has resigned its part / In the casual comedy." After three-and-a-half years, I feel like I've written everything I can write on Basia Me Catholica Sum. Thank you for reading Hesperia. HI, I just jo...
