Additional Details

I just received more details from Fr. Gregory Tatum. He wrote:

"I reserved Mass in the Tomb on June 24th and in the Study of St. Jerome in Bethlehem on 17th June."

I presume that the "tomb" referred to is the chapel of in the tomb of Jesus at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (depicted below). I am thrilled that during this Summer devoted to the study of the Gospels we will celebrate Mass in the study of St Jerome, the first great "Scripture scholar" in the Church, who claimed "Ignorance of the Scripture is Ignorance of Christ..." (St. Jerome's Study is depicted at left.)

The Plan: Itinerary and Syllabus

I am beginning my time away visiting my classmate, Alejandro Crosswaite-Martinez in Rome. He teaches at the Dominican University in Rome (the Angelicum) and we have not see each other in several years.
