Here we go again

So after getting settled back into Rome, I was able to stay almost a week! Then I headed north to the Czech Republic for a week for the investiture of 5 new sisters from our community. It was really nice, but alot of work! (a group of us brothers cleaned 220 windows in the monestary!!) Now I am in Rome, but as is my life, I leave today for Bosnia to accompany a group of pilgrims to Medjugorie. Should be very interesting!

I am doing well. School starts on the 13th of October, which is fast approaching. God Bless you all, and I'll post when I get back, hopefully with some pictures.

Ciao!

Rome Sweet Home

Hey Everybody,

So I am now back in Rome after a brief but very intense stay in Russia. It was quite interesting to be in Russia during the war that was going on in Georgia. I kept a low profile, but had no problems. We need to really pray for Russia though, they are really flexing their muscles, and there is a very sinister undercurrent running through the nation. They want to return to the top of the world power structure, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

I am doing well. I will try to post some photos sometime soon of my time there. School starts in early October, so getting ready for that too!

God Bless you all,

Joe Nicklas Maria
