On main street in Rome is located the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne, the home of the Roman family Massimo. It was here that on the morning of March 16, 1583 St. Philip Neri brought back to life the young Massimo boy, Paolo de' Massimi. The room where the miracle occured is now the family chapel of the miracle, which is open each year on this day for prayer and worship. This year His Eminence Cardinal Burke was the guest of Prince Massimo and his family to celebrate a Missa Prelatitia at the main altar of the family chapel. A wonderful Rome tradition which has survived the decades. Many thanks to Prince Massimo as well as to His Eminence, both zealous apostles. 
His Eminence has become an ambassador of good will for the United States all over the world!
ReplyDeleteCardinal Burke is everywhere! God bless him.
ReplyDeleteOur Faith is so rich!
ReplyDeleteAn ambassador of good liturgy! And the finest of jurists. Burke wears the red hat of the college of cardinals in a fashion all his own and God bless him for it!
ReplyDeleteWith many prayers we may see him one day wearing the tiara!
ReplyDeleteYes, His Eminence IS everywhere! Would love to hear him speaking Italian! Probably sounds just like a 'native'!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the last commenter: maybe one day we will see him wearing the tiara! But not..yet!
