I do not have internet access as yet and so have to write to you in the Comments section.  The technician is supposed to be coming today to set things up.<br \/>\nI have been given a different cell: this one is enormous: my apartment in Hamden could easily fit into it twice.  The ceilings are at least twelve feet high.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vultuschristi.org\/CIMG0091.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"CIMG0091.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/vultuschristi.org\/CIMG0091-thumb.jpg\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\"style=\"float:right; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nRight outside my door is a lovely sculptured shrine of the Madonna of the Rosary of Pompei.  That, of course, made me very happy.  My cell is at least 1\/4 mile from the refectory &#8211; well, perhaps I am exaggerating a bit, but not much.  It is very, very far.  The abbey is huge and the distances require that one leave for every exercise well in advance.<br \/>\nI thank you all for your prayers.  Although I arrived with a sore throat and a ear ache, I quickly recovered and have been sleeping well.  Twice a day in the refectory there are fresh greens from the garden: surely that helps!  Soon I will be able to resume writing on Vultus Christi and I will have much to share.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends, I thank Lisa for giving you news of my arrival in Rome.
