Rome 24/10 – Day 4: BLACK VESTMENT PROJECT!
Our day brightened at 07:09 and it will darken at 18:48, if storm clouds don't darken it first.
The Ave Maria should ring at 19:0o.
It is the Feast of St. Francis.
It is a 1st Friday.
Lord, thank you for this day.
A week or so before I set out for my present Roman Sojourn, I contacted Gammarelli (the legendary ecclesiastical tailor shop) about progress on the BLACK VESTMENT PROJECT for The Parish, Ss. Trinità dei Pellegrini.
They told me the new vestments might be ready about mid-October.
Some history.
You might recall that the black vestments there were a hodgepodge of very worn and mismatched elements. Such as...
I got an estimate and started a pledge drive to sound interest in having new 7 new vestments in black made, one with my coat of arms (ne obliviscantur). Pledges came right away. We got the ball rolling, donations were collected, the order was placed.
Yesterday, the Feast of dear St. Therese, Gammarelli wrote that the vestments were ready!
Here they are, all 7, stacked up and ready to be blessed.
You might notice that this time Gammarelli got our directions right. No cross on the chalice veil and the cross on the maniple higher, where the widening begins.
Indeed... Zelus domus Tuae!
On my way to errands. Just for nice. Roman nasoni are such a joy!

I went to the fishmonger and got clams for tonight. Spaghetti alle vongole. In case you are wondering, vongole veraci are 28/kg
I am purging them. You can see them starting to drink in the salty water and get rid of the undesirable mud, etc.

In churchy news...
I note that Cupich of Chicago has given his thorough explanation of Francis' remarks about all religions being paths to God. It was even picked up by Vatican News, he did such a good job. HERE
Also, at Fishwrap (aka National Sodomitic Reporter) we read that that eminent Franciscan Friar Daniel Horan (aka The Horan of Babylon) has left the Franciscans and the priesthood. Such a loss. How he will be missed. He says that he is making a "transition" to a new kind of life. I suppose he means ... not being a friar, but you never know.
