Well, Angelo Cardinal Sodano left our humble town yesterday afternoon and is now safely back in Rome. I am expecting to sort through all of the video and still photography that was taken during his visit soon and post whatever comes out as the best of the best. Our photographer reportedly took around 800 pictures. There's going to be a lot of sifting...
As for personal impressions, the Cardinal was a very warm, down-to-earth man. I had the opportunity to serve a private Mass for him yesterday morning, after which he gave me a Papal rosary as a gift. It was a wonderful experience for me, one that not many minor seminarians in this world can boast of (excuse the terminal preposition). His presence among us was truly an honor, and all of the festivities were fantastic. More to come ASAP.
