You have born witness in Rome.
Now you must do the same in Jerusalem.
I was meditating on St Peter’s dome.
A new Jerusalem.We went to mass  in the English college.
We prayed for the martyrs.
Men of great courage.
Some simple men , others men of letters.

Like them we traveled.
In faith we journeyed.
At our destination we safely arrived.
At theirs they died.

We made a spiritual journey.
Theirs was more a final journey.

…….

Bear witness in Rome
We do so in the spirit
They did so much more

….

See Acts 22 and 23
