It's officially Day Five.

Sorry, no pictures tonight. I am so tired I can hardly think. We had a very long day today. It is midnight and I am just getting back to my little room.

We heard from three very good speakers today. In the morning we heard Fr. Alejandro Crosthwaite who spoke on Catholic social teaching. In the afternoon we heard Br. Anton De Roeper who spoke on Catholic social teaching in a Lasallian context. And tonight we met with Br. Alvero Rodriguez the Superior General.

As usual the time between sessions was spent in meetings of special issue groups and with my new and old friends from Bethlehem University. There is so much to discuss and people are ripe with innovative ideas for collaborations.

Tomorrow we have a morning speaker from the Pontifical Council for the Laity. Our afternoon is supposedly free, but I'm meeting with the VP for Academic Affairs for Bethlehem to have lunch and talk about some potential collaborative projects.

Tomorrow night we meet with the Secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education.

And I need to do laundry.

This experience is so much more than I bargained for. There is so much to digest and reflect on. But right now, I just want to go to bed and put my feet up. They are killing me!!!
