A Day of Silence

So today was our day of silence. We started at 8:30 this morning and remained in silence until mass at 5:00. It was a truly wonderful day. I can't really say that I came up with anything profound in my 8 1/2 hours of reflection. But it was really nice to just be silent.

Tonight we had dinner on the roof of the Mother House. I took the picture above of the sun setting behind St. Lasalle Chapel from the roof.

Afterwards a big group of us trooped down the streets to our favorite Gelatorium. I had Nutella gelato. A young man came in and ordered a gelto sandwich. They take a bun made of brioche, slice it half way through, fill it with scoops of gelato and top it with whipped cream. It was huge. They also make Nutella crepes. I didn't see one, but can only imagine.
