Sunday was a great day for memories. As we celebrated the Feast of the Bascilica in Rome - St. John in Lateran, I was reminded of my first pilgrimage. It's hard to believe it's been 7 years since we went to Rome. St. John's was incredible; huge and glorious. What an experience!

There is so much more to this church, but I am not the best teacher. Time has dimmed some of my details. What I do know is that our Catholic faith has a beautiful history, as well as a wonderful same-ness no matter where you are. It is that connection that unites us, both near and far. Ultimately, with the celebration of such a glorious place, my heart is happy. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to go there. I'm happy that we have such a rich heritage in our faith. I'm happy that we have a universal church that is diverse and similar, near and far, many and one. I'm proud to claim a connection to this place via my Catholic faith.
