“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in the God of my salvation!” On this festival weekend when Italy celebrates Ferragosto (combination national holiday, hottest day of the year, and the Assumption of Mary), we join Mary in praising God for all He has done even though we don’t yet know the end of the story!
Welcome to our new house manager, Mary Hess! And sweet goodbye to Peggy and her daughter Elizabeth—your presence has been a great gift and joy. We are thrilled to have you as part of our pilgrim house family.
