"My favorite moment was offering Mass on the altar of Pope St. Gregory the Great in St. Peter's." — Fr. Sean D., Pawhuska, OK Notice he didn't say seeing the altar. He said offering Mass on it. That's what Rome does to a priest that it can't do to a tourist. The visitor admires the basilica; the priest stands where Gregory the Great stood and does the one thing his hands were ordained to do. The Eternal City doesn't just impress you. It re-forms you, it sets your own priesthood inside a line that runs back twenty centuries. Is there a saint's altar you'd want to offer Mass on? https://lnkd.in/dykY5qN5 #Priesthood #CatholicPilgrimage #Rome #Vatican
