Fundata Domus, Viri Sapienti

Mt. 8:25  He who hears My word and does it is like a man with his house founded on the Rock!  Peter is the Rock! The Pope! Francis!

Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam...!  Mt.16:18


Santuario de Nuestra Señora de las Lajas

Upon your next trip to Quito Ecuador you might consider going up to this Las Lajas Sanctuary due North just over the Colombian boarder. Don't know how safe it is once you get up by the boarder: guerrilla warlord area. If you make it back you can stop at San Antonio de Ibarra to buy some of the best reasonably priced religious wood work on the planet!

N.B. The Pacific beaches in that area of Ecuador (Esmeraldas) are black. Very nice and very Catholic people, but miserably poor. You can find very cheap and safe places at the out-of-the way beaches. E.g. When I was there the room of my beach house was $5 per night right on the beach! Perfect peace, except for the abject poverty of that island town. I especially liked the fact that there was no motor vehicle access (Muisne).
