A good start
We are already in the third day of the congregation, and the pace is finally settling down a bit to something approaching normal. The weekend was a blur of men arriving in Rome from all over the world. It was noisy and excited- lots of greetings shared between friends and new introductions. I was surprised at how many men in the congregation have been part of my own history, such as Fr. George Quickley who lived in the Jesuit community in Washington, D.C. when I worked on the Jesuit Conference staff. He was then a prison chaplain, and now serves as the first provincial of the newly-formed province of North West Africa. It was good to see him again, as well as old friends like Fr. Bob Scullin who was one of my community mates during theology; Bob is now provincial of the Detroit Province. Plus there are so many men I have come to know from visiting communication apostolates around the world over the past seven years. On Sunday evening there was a reception for the Jesuits living in our house and the one next door. The noise level was very high, and people moved from group to group.
