Dear Friends of the Society,
I want to add a personal note to the more formal announcement of the General Council about Mater and the changes at the Trinità.Every
one of us who has ever visited the Trinità and gazed on the picture of
Mater knows the amazing, perhaps occasionally embellished, story behind
the painting and the painter. What we leave with, however, is not the
historical details but the simple beauty of the young Mary, a figure in
repose, spinning quietly in the temple.

BODIES ARE PETRIFIED. Without wanting to appeal to any ghoulish
interests, I suggest that you go to the web, if you would like to find
out more.

 The general instructions for finding and getting to the Mater fresco are as follows:
The Trinità dei Monti (Piazza della Trinità dei Monti, 3) , where the
fresco is located, is at the top of the so-called "Spanish Stairs" off
the Piazza di Spagna. You can either climb the stairs or take the
elevator to the top. (The elevator is located inside the entrance to
the Metro in the little side street to the left as you face the stairs. The general instructions for finding and getting to the Mater fresco are as follows: Go in the door on the right as you enter the Metro station and it leads to the elevator.)

 In 1828, Pope Leo XII invited the Society of the Sacred Heart to found
a community and school at the Trinità dei Monti, a monastery at the top
of the Spanish Steps in Rome. For 300 years, the monastery had housed a
community of Minims, an order founded by St. Francis of Paola in the 15th
century. The Order of Minims had abandoned the property during the
French Revolution, and by 1828 the buildings were in need of repair.
