My heart is so full on Christmas Day - received the Christmas blessing from the Holy Father Pope Francis, roamed (and got lost in) the streets of Rome all afternoon, Christmas mass at the Basilica di Santa Maria in Traspontina in Saint Peter’s Square, then enjoyed a delicious three-course Italian dinner at a local’s favorite pizzaria in my neighborhood. Aside from being away from my family, this Christmas was one for the books. Today I have fallen deeper in love with my faith. I’m so grateful to God for his blessings, for this life, and for his immense love and mercy. I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. Buon Natale! #christmasinrome #vaticancity #holyfather #santopapa #popefrancis #saintpeterssquare #santamariatraspontina #osteriapizzaria🇻🇦🇮🇹🎄🎁🙏🏼❤️ (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX7PTNkKwk4ry8TMQNDQGuGxnnF5sDefBQ4iso0/?utm_medium=tumblr
