Glory Seen in Rome and the Vatican

It is still done today, folks (Laus Deo)!

Meet this great legend whom you will see all over Rome if you live here: every single day he goes to the Basilica of St. Peter in the a.m. and the Basilica of St. Mary Major in the p.m.  He attends Holy Mass, receives Holy Communion, prays for priests and then stops in other churches in between.

Meet Cyril from Czechoslovakia!

  1. There was a Lady here in Los Angeles (Ms. Nellie Parrot)that spent her days going from church to church hearing Mass, praying the rosary and Eucharistic Adoration at all hours of the day and night. Truly a saint and one to be honored like Mr.Cyril above. Thanks for bringing him to light.

  4. Beautiful man. One quibble - there is no longer a Czechoslovakia. The Slovaks didn't like the Czechs. Which is he from?

    My best friend lives in Plzen, Ceski.

  6. He sounds like the kind of guy you wanna be around when he dies, so that you can collect relics.

  7. Last time I was in Rome he was at two Masses I celebrated! The people on the pilgrimage thought he was an angel because he seemed to follow us all over town.
