The Last day: The Holy Father's departure from Rome.



I prayerfully watched with sadness the Holy Father's departure from Rome.  All the major networks covered it, as well as EWTN.  NBC had excellent coverage, with Fr. Barron.

The helicopter flyover with the bells in the background was especially poignant.  There was a surreal aspect to it for me, which reminded me of the opening of Fellini's La Dolce Vita, shown below.
