Sacro Speco, Assisi
We had a wonderfully spiritual tour of Sacro Speco, the churches with St. Benedict's holy cave -- with wonderful photos -- but (unfortunately) no uploading possibilities in this Internet cafe.
Yesterday (Thursday) we spent exploring Benedict's spirituality, both his attention to an ordered way of life and the way of love in community. Today we are in Assisi, experiencing another of the great charisms of the church: that of St. Francis and St. Clare. Their lives of poverty, and of joy in all of creation, are evident everyewhere in this medieval town. We visited San Damiano, the church which St. Francis rebuilt stone by stone, and the Cathedral of St. Clare. Like Subiaco, there is too much here to see (or take in)in one day. We will have much to chew on for months to come.
(As soon as I can get better access, the photos from Subiaco will be posted on Flickr with a linke here)
