It was a difficult mission, as the Church is really in crisis after the scandals and abuses by some rotten eggs. But, we were able to bring joy into the lives of so many people, and to show that Jesus is loves and mercy.
We visited schools, universities, pubs and soup kitchens. We also spent a lot of time singing and speaking with people on the streets.
One day, Kev and I had lunch together for a bit of quiet time. We stumbled across an Aussie Pie Shop. It was a tiny little corner shop that sold pies, ginger beer, cherry ripes and lamingtons. It was great.
Three of our students from last year joined us for the mission. It was a joy to have them with us, and they were such a great addition to the team.
The mission lasted two weeks. We were pretty tired afterwards. I stayed in bed for three days after returning to Rome!
We will probably go back for another mission in June.
