San Paolo fuori le Mura
On our first day out touring, weeks ago, G and I decided to see someplace new. We'd already been to Mass at St Peter's and made our first stop at Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. Where to go?? Still being a bit jet-lagged, we decided to choose a new church on a Metro line. That quickly narrowed the search: St Paul Outside the Walls. How have I always missed this? Who knows,? Bbut I sure am glad to have finally got there. It now ranks as one of my top favorite churches. It is beautiful in every way. Immense and peacefully devoid of crowds. Lovely gardens. Really a perfect place. Best of all, there are priests hearing confessions almost all day-no lines. A delightful lagnaippe to be able to go to confession first thing in Rome. Deo gratias.
I had the same opinions of St. Paul Outside the Walls also. Really peaceful.
