More videos from Italy!

More videos from Italy:

The Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI processing into St. Peter's Basilica for New Years Eve Vespers! I was blessed to get within 1 foot of the Holy Father! Amazing experience and truly a blessing!

After Vespers on New Years Eve, Pope Benedict XVI made his rounds in St. Peter's Square inside his Popemobile!

The Friars at San Matteo Friary in near San Giovanni Rotondo graciously provided hospitality for us during our pilgrimage to see Saint (Padre) Pio! This was an incredibly beautiful Friary tucked amoungst a beautiful mountain range in Southern Italy! It was very isolated, simple, cold and EXTREMELY peaceful! I LOVED every minute of it! Here is a quick tour of the hallway outside my "Cell" and my "Cell" itself!

Wandering the Roman countryside on foot in search of the Catacombs (ancient Christian underground burial sites)! We were kinda lost and had our lives flashing before out eyes because there were NO sidewalks! ahhh!

We got seranaded by our Taxi Driver while in Rome! He did not speak a word of english but when we said "Texas...America," the first thing out of his mouth was "OHHH...John Wayne!" hahaha...then he proceeded to sing us this song about John Wayne which we later called the "BOOM" song!
