a friar style?

well...I simply didn't know what to do during a chilly november night... different thoughts came up to my mind... different cliks lead my hand to a friend's blog...and I wanted the same.

Bye bye Christmas! and THANKS!!

ok, it's definetely gone. Don't be so surprised if I'm still talking about the just passed Christmas. According to some tradition we can keep the nativity until the 2nd of February, which is not too far.

Anyway, we have put our nativities back in their boxes, and while I was undoing it I'd noticed camels as big as dogs, shepards tall as the sheeps, tree palms as tall as the Empire State Building and houses probably built by the hobbyts of the Lord of the Rings. The ox and the donkey which were probably already inside the hut before it was built, at least according to the dimension of the entrance...

Anyway, where am I right now? I'm in Tivoli serving in a Parish called Parrocchia di Santa Croce, but if you ask anyone in Tivoli where Santa Croce is they won't know it, just because I haven't been here before...

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SUPPORTED OUR MISSION IN KAZAKHSTAN. I HAVE MET BR.FRANCESCO WHO MANAGED, THANKS TO THE MONEY WE HAVE COLLECTED, TO CURE A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO WAS COMPLETELY DEAF. THE CHILD HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MILAN WITH HIS MUM AND HE HAD A SURGERY HE COULD NOT HAVE HAD IN KAZACHSTAN. NOW HE CAN HEAR PERFECTLY.

Nice to see you back Br. Freddie!
I'm very impressed by the help you gave to the deaf child. You have a great heart.
God bless you and the child!

Oh... I am not so sure about being alive. As I posted today on my "Sunday Afternoon Tea", I have come down with the flu.

I plan to spend the next few days on the sofa and try to recover.
