Excerpt from A Year of Consolation, Vol. 2 of 2
Easter Sunday - I was not well, and missed the great climax of the holy ceremonies the Pope's blessing of the people. From the terrace of the Villa Medici, I watched the sudden gleams and slow curling clouds from the cannons of the castle of St. Angelo, which proclaimed the universal benediction. To be blessed by sound of cannon, seemed to me strange, especially by Christ's Vicar, and in Christ's name but to be blessed, at any rate, is something, and that the city and the world have been by word of Pope this day. In the evening we' drove to St. Peter's, to see the illumination, the stream of human life setting in from every avenue.
