Rome Quotes

"People with limited time in Rome frequently try to do too much and consequently, among the older ones, we would have  half-dozen hospital cases every couple of weeks.  On one day alone I visited three people in Salvator Mundi Hospital.  We would tell visitors to follow the Italian style: tour in the morning, rest in the heat of the afternoon, and shop - if they wished - between five and seven in the evening.  Until they collapsed they would not believe this was a good system."

-Fr. Jim Cunningham (former pastor of Rome's Santa Susanna's).
